– BBC’s “Top Gear” goes on rest for the foreseeable future
– Decision made after host Andrew Flintoff suffered an on-set accident
– Andrew Flintoff said that he is “absolutely fine” after accident
The popular car show “Top Gear” has been placed on rest by the BBC for an indefinite period of time. This decision comes after the host of the show, Andrew Flintoff, experienced an accident on set while driving a trike over a finishing line at a high-speed. The incident resulted in no major injuries, but the network has decided to suspend the show for the foreseeable future.
In a statement regarding the accident, Flintoff assured fans that he is “absolutely fine”, but the production crew has been reminded of the importance of safety when filming in potentially dangerous situations. This is not the first time that Top Gear has faced a shutdown due to on-set incidents, but it is currently unclear how long the show will remain on hiatus before returning to air.
