TOOTING, SURREY, UK, JUL 31 – Former cricketer Andrew Flintoff praised NHS staff at St George's Hospital for expert care after a severe Top Gear crash, calling them "absolute superheroes," officials said.
- In December 2022, former international cricketer Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff suffered serious injuries in a car accident during the production of BBC's Top Gear near Dunsfold, located in the county of Surrey, and was promptly airlifted to St George's Hospital in Tooting for treatment.
- Due to the severity of Flintoff’s injuries, an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon with more than two decades of practice, Jahrad Haq, was urgently called upon to manage the complex trauma.
- During his recovery, Flintoff expressed deep gratitude for the expert, compassionate care he received from NHS clinical and support teams at St George's, describing himself as being at his lowest point and praising the staff as 'absolute superheroes.'
- Flintoff recounted being pulled face-down beneath the car for around 50 metres and initially feared he had died; his rehabilitation journey was featured in the Disney+ series 'Flintoff'.
- Flintoff's return visit to St George's boosted staff morale, with managing director Kate Slemeck stating pride in the hospital's care and its lasting impact on patients beyond discharge.
