West Ham striker open
Antonio on horror crash: “Almost died”
In an interview with BBC One, Michail Antonio spoke openly about his horror accident last December. "I almost died," said the Jamaican.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Antonio was driving his Ferrari in the English county of Essex at the end of last year when he left the road and crashed into a tree at full speed. The 34-year-old was trapped in his car for 45 minutes before the emergency services arrived at the scene of the accident.
The West Ham pro now emotionally recalled the day: "I had a strange feeling in my stomach. That's when I realized how close I was to death. I had seen the pictures, but in reality it was ten times worse. The car was a wreck. It was hard for me."
No memory
The striker could not remember the accident. "The police came and when they found me, I was lying between the two seats. I wasn't actually in the driver's seat. They said it looked like I had tried to climb out of the window. But because my leg was so badly broken, the pain probably stopped me. I can't remember anything, which is strange because the whole time I was told I was awake and talking to everyone - the police and the person who found me," Antonio went on to explain.
A rod with four screws had been surgically inserted into the striker's thigh. After a few weeks in hospital, the 21-time Jamaican team player is now working on his comeback.
