The 45-year-old was filming for 'Top Gear' in icy conditions at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey on Tuesday when the accident happened.
"Freddie (Flintoff) was injured in an accident at the Top Gear test track this morning - with crew medics attending the scene immediately," the BBC said in a statement.
"He has been taken to hospital for further treatment and we will confirm more details in due course." According to 'The Sun', Flintoff's injuries are not "life-threatening" and he was "driving on the track as normal" and was not going at a high speed.

"All the usual health and safety measures were in place for filming too," a source was quoted as saying by 'The Sun'.
"Freddie was taken to hospital by air ambulance shortly afterwards. "Filming has been postponed for now and all anyone cares about is Freddie recovering." His co-star Chris Harris was also at the 'Top Gear' test track.
Three years back, Flintoff had survived a 125mph crash during the shooting of another episode of Top Gear.
Flintoff, who retired from international cricket in 2009, has played 79 Tests and 141 limited-overs internationals for England.

Pollution: Schools in Rajasthan's Khairthal-Tijara go online for classes 1 to 5
Jaipur (PTI): The administration of Khairthal-Tijara district in Rajasthan has announced that all schools will hold online classes for students of classes 1 to 5 for four days starting Wednesday in view of alarmingly high pollution levels in Delhi-NCR.
The order was issued by District Collector Kishore Kumar on Tuesday following the Supreme Court's directions to all states in the Delhi-NCR area to decide on conducting physical classes for students up to class 12 amid the dire situation.
Khairthal-Tijara, which was carved out of Alwar in August 2023, falls under the National Capital Region (NCR).
In his order, Kumar said all government and private schools in the district will suspend physical classes for students of classes 1 to 5 from November 20 to 23, or until further notice (whichever is earlier).
Teachers will hold online classes for students during this period, the order stated.
The order is only applicable to students, teachers are required to come to school to conduct online classes.
