West Ham’s Michail Antonio has undergone surgery for a fractured leg following a car crash involving his Ferrari in Epping Forest, Essex. The incident took place on Saturday, when the 34-year-old footballer crashed his vehicle, resulting in him being trapped for over 45 minutes. Fire crews worked to free him before he was taken to the hospital.
West Ham confirmed Antonio’s stable condition and later announced that surgery had been successful. They expressed gratitude for the support received from the football community and emergency responders.
Witness Samuel Woods, who came across the crash, said Antonio appeared disoriented, asking, “Where am I? What’s going on? What car am I in?” Essex Police have launched an investigation into the collision, which occurred just before 1pm on Coppice Row. The vehicle has been recovered, and authorities are seeking any additional footage or information from the public.
