A professional stunt driver is suing the BBC for £150,000 over a crash during filming of Top Gear that allegedly put former England cricketer Freddie Flintoff at serious risk, according to court documents. The claimant is Paul Rees, a racing driver hired to work on the show in an instructor role. Court documents indicate Rees was a passenger in the vehicle involved in the incident. The lawsuit seeks damages tied to the crash, with the claimant alleging harm connected to the filming event. Other details about the cause of the crash, whether any findings have been made, or the precise nature of the alleged injuries are not provided in the available reporting. The BBC has not been described in the provided sources as admitting liability. The case is ongoing, and the claims are subject to court review. The reporting frames the matter as part of legal action following a major on-set incident linked to Top Gear production.
