West Ham striker Michail Antonio had a terrifying experience on Saturday when he was involved in a car crash that left him trapped in his mangled Ferrari. The incident took place in Theydon Bois, Essex and it required emergency services to free him from the wreckage. It was a scary situation, and it took almost an hour for Antonio to be rescued and airlifted to a hospital in London.
A dog walker, Samuel Woods, was one of the first people on the scene and he shared his account of what happened. He noticed the smashed-up Ferrari while driving home from walking his dog and immediately knew something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, he saw an injured and disoriented man inside the car - it was Antonio. Woods quickly called for help and reassured the footballer that help was on its way.
Antonio's ex-wife, Debbie, rushed to be by his side at the hospital while he received messages of support from the football community. Even Gary Lineker, on his Match of the Day programme, sent his well wishes to the 34-year-old. The club released a statement expressing their gratitude for the support and thanking the emergency services and medical team who helped Antonio in the aftermath of the crash.
It was later revealed that Antonio had suffered a broken leg and would require surgery. Some reports suggest that he could be out of action for up to a year. This news was a blow to both Antonio and West Ham, as he is the club's all-time top scorer in the Premier League. The 34-year-old has been with the club since 2015 and has played a significant role in their success.
The seriousness of the situation was evident by the plumes of smoke coming out of the wreckage, with witnesses too scared to approach the car. Antonio's Ferrari was a total mess, and it was a miracle that he was able to communicate and be in a stable condition. The footballer was understandably disoriented and confused, asking questions like "Where am I?" and "What car am I in?"
Antonio's career has been filled with highs and lows, from being called up to the England national team but never playing for them to making his debut for Jamaica in 2021 and being capped 21 times. This accident is another obstacle for the 34-year-old to overcome, but with the support of his loved ones and the football community, he will hopefully make a speedy recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with Michail Antonio during this difficult time.
