Yesterday, a grandmother on her way home from babysitting was involved in a car crash with the England striker, Marcus Rashford. The 74-year-old was unharmed in the incident, but the £700,000 Rolls Royce of the 25-year-old Manchester United star was wrecked.
The crash occurred near the United training complex at around midnight on Saturday, shortly after Rashford had left following his side's 1-0 win at Burnley. According to a source who spoke to the Sun, both drivers were 'badly shaken'. Rashford was quick to check if the elderly woman was okay and exchanged details with her.
Maintenance engineer Peter Laycock arrived at the scene shortly after, and noticed people in United clothing who had likely come from the training ground. Laycock said there were 'loads of police' blocking the road due to the debris scattered all over.
The accident happened in a 40mph zone on Carrington Spur, and the woman was on her way home from babysitting her granddaughter. The impact caused the airbags to go off, leaving her 'very, very shaken and confused'. She had no idea who Rashford was, as she was not a football fan.
United's club captain, Bruno Fernandes, soon arrived at the scene and checked on both the pensioner and Rashford. The club doctor also examined the striker and offered medical aid to the grandmother of five. The club officials even paid for a taxi to take her 15 miles home, and her three children were arranging a hospital check-up for her.
Rashford was excused from training, and posted on Instagram about United's away win. He wrote: '3 points on the road! I'm alright guys thanks for the messages.'
It appears that the grandmother and Marcus Rashford were lucky to escape without injury in the incident. The crash serves as a reminder of how important it is to drive carefully, especially during wet weather.
