Victim of a serious road accident on Saturday December 7, West Ham player Michail Antonio was in a state of shock, according to Samuel Woods, who rescued the attacker.
Michail Antonio escaped the worst this Saturday. Victim of a serious road accident, the West Ham striker was operated on the day after a fracture, the London club said in a press release. In 'stable condition' upon his arrival at hospital, the 34-year-old was very confused after his crash, as several witnesses told The Sun.
This is particularly the case of Samuel Woods. The latter was returning home after walking his dog and saw the terrifying state of the footballer's car, to whom he did not hesitate to help since he was “in great difficulty”. “I said 'hello' to him to see if anyone was alive. I heard the sirens and told him help was on the way. He was so disoriented. He said, 'Where am I ?What's going on? What car am I in?' Help arrived very quickly. I couldn't believe what had happened.
“He was trying to understand what I had just said”
The player's Ferrari was heavily damaged after the crash and smoke was billowing from the wreckage. According to the statements of the witness, who informed Antonio of his accident, the latter did not respond. “He was looking around trying to understand what I had just said. He was sitting on the passenger side.”
At the club since 2015, Michail Antonio will miss his first match of the season this Monday with the Hammers, who host Wolverhampton on the 15th day of the Premier League. A long convalescence now awaits the Jamaican international (18 caps, 4 goals).
