Racing Driver Sues BBC Over Top Gear Crash | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Racing driver Paul Rees is suing BBC Studios for over £100,000, claiming severe back injuries and PTSD after a crash during a Top Gear stunt in December 2022. As a passenger in a three-wheeled Morgan Super 3 driven by Freddie Flintoff, Rees says he was never briefed on the risks of drifting or rollover — despite the car lifting a wheel earlier. The BBC denies negligence, arguing Rees himself gave false reassurance and didn’t report injuries immediately. Flintoff, who was also injured in the same crash, later settled with the BBC — a move that led to Top Gear’s hiatus, though revival rumors persist.
