A teenager who appeared in Freddie Flintoff‘s BBC One documentary has tragically died in a horrific double death crash after the high performance car he was driving smashed into trees.

Umar Mahmood, 18, died in hospital yesterday after being seriously injured while at the wheel of an Audi A3 Sport which veered off the road in Preston, Lancashire on Tuesday.

Back seat passenger 16-year-old Adam Bodi also suffered fatal injuries while a 17-year-old who was also in the car remains in hospital, with police investigating the cause of the double tragedy.

ABOUT UMAR

Umar had been filmed being coached by the England cricket legend in ‘Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams’.

He had been a pupil at Penwortham Priory Academy, finishing his studies two years ago, as was Adam who left after his GCSEs this summer.

The show saw England all-rounder turned TV presenter Flintoff recruit teenagers from under privileged parts of Lancashire in a bid to change people’s perspective of the sport.
