Chris Harris, co-host of Top Gear, has revealed he warned BBC management months before Freddie Flintoff's serious car accident about potential safety risks on set. The incident occurred in December 2022 when Flintoff crashed a Morgan three-wheeler, resulting in significant injuries, including broken ribs and facial scarring. Harris recounted that Flintoff was not wearing a helmet and had received inadequate preparation for the shoot, which he described as rushed. He expressed feeling partly responsible for not being able to properly advise Flintoff on handling difficult vehicles that day. Harris criticized the BBC for ignoring his safety concerns, stating he had predicted that someone could be seriously injured or killed during filming. He emphasized that his experience as a driver made him aware of the dangers posed in such stunts, particularly with hosts lacking similar expertise.
