Chris Harris Warned BBC Before Flintoff Crash

Chris Harris, a presenter on Top Gear, revealed on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that he warned BBC executives three months prior to Andrew Flintoff's severe crash, stating, 'Unless you change something, someone’s going to die on this show.' Flintoff sustained significant injuries during the December 2022 accident at the show's test track, leading the BBC to 'rest' the program indefinitely and resulting in a reported £9 million settlement for Flintoff. Harris expressed frustration that his safety concerns were not taken seriously, emphasizing his experience as the most qualified driver on the show. He recounted the moment of the crash, fearing Flintoff was dead when he saw the car overturned and unresponsive. Following the incident, the BBC has faced scrutiny regarding its safety protocols and the show's future. Harris lamented the lack of action taken by the BBC despite his repeated warnings about dangerous filming conditions.
