Link to the report?
Sounds like a rehearsal for the Harry story yesterday, hype, speculation and few facts.

I watched the T20 cricket final last night. Freddie was in the Lancs team.
Wicket first ball bowling.
Hit his first two balls received for 6.
Looked in very good nick.

Freddie is in many of the papers today after his appearance watching the ODI match in Cardiff. From the pictures, he looks to have had some nasty facial injuries.

Agreed, saw a quick shot on TV yesterday, considering how long ago the accident was, the scars still look severe

One of the news outlets was quoting 130mph in a Morgan Super 3. I wonder what he was attempting to do.
Glad he is recovering.

I see from the Times today that Freddie Flintoff has made a settlement for £9m, equivalent to two years loss of earnings, from BBC Studios - a commercial company independent from the BBC.

I would never drive any three wheeler at 130mph, but then I’m happy just pootling around. However, I have just seen this report:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12...hed-star-flipped-car-without-helmet.html
Evidently it flipped at 22mph on a bend…

Interesting. The Times, Telegraph and Guardian also have reports but they all seem to be based on what a single unnamed source told The Mail on Sunday...

"A source said: ‘People talk about this “high speed crash” but although the consequences were horrendous, it was no such thing.'
‘The car was actually going at 22mph when it flipped over. There is a lot of footage and it has been carefully looked at.
‘They had only just set off and were on the first corner when the car flipped and he scraped his face along the tarmac.
’"

I'd like to see an independent account that corroborates this, but if true it seems to me potentially more damaging to MMC than if Freddie had been driving at 130mph.
