Flintoff had to be airlifted to hospital in December 2022 following a high speed smash.
The cricket star turned presenter had been filming at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome.
Following the accident, Flintoff was largely out of the public eye as he recovered from his injuries.
He has coached within the England set-up, while he recently returned to TV presenting as host of Bullseye.
Flintoff is now set to be the subject of a 90-minute documentary on Disney+.
During the trailer, an image was revealed from the aftermath of the horrific crash.
Reliving the accident, Flintoff said: “I remember everything about it. It’s so vivid.
“This is what I’m left with… I wouldn’t say I’m embracing them but I’m not trying to hide my scars.”
On participating in the documentary and speaking about his ordeal, Flintoff added: “I’d lived under the radar for seven months, one of the real frustrations was the speculation, that’s why I’m doing this now.
“What actually happened?”
Flintoff had been driving an open-topped Morgan Super 3, which flipped during the stunt.
He suffered broken ribs and serious facial injuries in the smash.
Opening up on how the crash has affected his outlook on life, Flintoff added: “It’s almost like a reset.
“I’m trying to find out what I am now. I’ve always seemed to be able to flick a switch. I’ve got to find that switch again.”
