Freddie Flintoff's son Corey has said his dad is "lucky to be alive" after being involved in a crash on the Top Gear test track.
The BBC has confirmed the 45-year-old England cricketer was shooting an episode of the hit TV show at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome before the incident on Tuesday. Freddie was taken to hospital after the crash, and his condition is not yet known.
His co-star Chris Harris - who presents the show alongside the former cricketer and Paddy McGuiness - was also at the Top Gear test track.
