The English cricket icon, 47, has looked back on the crash, which left him with life-changing injuries, in a brand-new documentary.
Flintoff was airlifted to the hospital in December 2022 after crashing a vehicle at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome while filming Top Gear.
In the wake of the incident, Flintoff took a step back from public life, but now, for the first time since the crash, the cricket legend has shared images from the day.

Freddie Flintoff set to explore horror crash
During the trailer for the new Disney+ doc, paramedics can be seen treating a person who appears to be Flintoff next to a destroyed vehicle.
Looking back on the crash, Flintoff says: "I remember everything about it. It's so vivid.
"This is what I'm left with… I wouldn't say I'm embracing them but I'm not trying to hide my scars."
Speaking of the 90-minute documentary, Flintoff said: "I’d lived under the radar for seven months, one of the real frustrations was the speculation, that’s why I’m doing this now.
"What actually happened?"
"It's almost like a reset,” he added.
"I'm trying to find out what I am now. I've always seemed to be able to flick a switch. I've got to find that switch again.
"Cricket’s always been a massive part of my life, shaping who I am.
"Looking back on the highs and the lows, including the challenges I’ve faced since my accident, has been a real reminder of why my career in the sport has meant so much."
The documentary will be available on Disney+ on April 25.
