Andrew Flintoff reflects on his recovery journey post-accident in a new Disney+ documentary. The former cricketer, who suffered severe facial injuries in a car accident while filming Top Gear, shares his struggles with mental health and how returning to cricket as a coach rejuvenated him. Initially isolating himself, Flintoff's re-engagement with the sport and team made a meaningful impact on his well-being, allowing him to find comfort in familiar settings among friends and cricketers again, marking a significant step in his healing process.
After the accident I didn't think I had it in me to get through... part of me thinks I wish I had died. I didn't want to kill myself.
If one thing's come out of it which is positive it's being back in cricket, Flintoff said. It's probably the one thing that saved me.
