Andrew \'Freddie\' Flintoff has written off a number of cars over the years.
The retired cricketer may be the new host of \'Top Gear\' but the \'A League of Their Own\' star isn\'t the best behind the wheel as he admitted he\'s been involved in several crashes.
The 41-year-old star was rear-ended in a collision before he even owned a vehicle.
James Corden branded 'toughest and most obnoxious presenter.'
He said of the crash: "I got a grand for whiplash and taped the boot up."
Freddie later bought a Range Rover, which ran up big repair bills.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "I drove over a pothole and two tyres went down.
"When I drove through a big puddle, the undertray fell off."
After getting the car back from a repair garage, he drove it through the same puddle and the underside collapsed again.
The former sportsman has also been involved in accidents on \'A League of Their Own\'.
In 2017, former series regular Jack Whitehall was treated by paramedics after a banger race saw Freddie shunt his car into a wall.
Jack previously said: "I literally crashed into a wall. I mean I had a full-on car crash. I\'m not overreacting.
"We went round the track and Flintoff rammed my car into a wall. I was really quite injured. It did my neck in badly...
"It was the worst I\'ve got injured on the show. The whole team ground to a halt and were like, \'Is Jack all right?\'
"Of all the stuff we\'ve done, that was one of those moments where your heart stops when you\'re being shunted into a wall by Freddie Flintoff at 70mph. It was awful.
"In the show, it\'s edited and it will all look fun and silly but my life flashed before my eyes.
"Honestly, it was bad. I couldn\'t move my neck so for a moment, I thought it was worse."
Freddie also wrote off a car in a separate accident after smashing it into a tree, and host James admitted the former cricketer "genuinely could have died" two years ago when a free-fall stunt went wrong and he nearly collided with a lighting rig.
