Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff was rushed to hospital on Tuesday morning after being involved in an accident while working on Top Gear.
A BBC spokesperson said: “Freddie was injured in an accident at the Top Gear test track this morning – with crew medics attending the scene immediately.”
“He has been taken to hospital for further treatment and we will confirm more details in due course.”
Insiders told The Sun that the presenter’s injuries were not life-threatening.
The paper quoted a source as saying: “He was driving on the track as normal. He wasn’t going at high speeds – it was just an accident that could happen to anyone.
“All the usual health and safety measures were in place for filming too. Freddie was taken to hospital by air ambulance shortly afterwards.”
The 45-year-old TV presenter and former professional cricketer has presented the BBC One show since 2019.
