A car accident is not the reason why one would expect a soccer player to make headlines, but theyāre human beings and sometimesit can happen. On Wednesday, it was Manuel Lanzini who survived to a scary car crash.
The 29-year-old midfielder was reportedly on his way to practicewhen the car that was taking him to the West Ham training ground flipped over. Lanzini was being driven by a chauffeur and has apparrentlywalkedunhurt from the incident.
According to The Sun and the Daily Mail, firefighters and police rushed to the scene, where Lanzini was checked and cleared to go as he didnāt sustain any injury. The playmaker was checked again at the training ground but has reportedly not been rushed to the hospital as others claimed.

āItās a miracle heās alive, from what Iāve heard,ā a source told The Sun.āThis was an incredibly near miss and could have killed Lanzini and the driver. Itās common for West Ham players to use a chauffeur service ā especially for those who live in town.
āThey were on a dual carriageway so it could have caused complete carnage. Just goes to show, it doesnāt matter how much cash you have ā weāre all just as vulnerable to a smash like this.ā
Lanzini was heading to his first team practice after the international break, in which he was an unused substitute in both of Argentinaās games against Venezuela and Ecuador, respectively. West Ham are set to face Everton on Sunday on Matchday 31 of the 2021-22 Premier League.
