Flintoff sustained serious injuries while shooting an episode of Top Gear in late 2022.
The former England cricketer – who suffered facial and rib injuries in the crash – subsequently admitted that he struggled to overcome the experience.
Speaking on Freddie Flintoff’s Field Of Dreams: Ultimate Test, he shared: “It was, what – 18 months ago? And you know, I’ve suffered with things like depression in the past before, but this time was different. I didn’t know if I had it in me to carry on, not that I wanted to die or anything like that, I just didn’t know if I had it in me, and that took a while.
“The one thing, I think, getting quite deep here, but the one thing you just want to be is happy in yourself, and try and be accepting of yourself of what you are. It took me a long time to be like that, and then the crash put me back again, and now it’s like finding myself or finding the person I want to be.”
