A Premier League footballer was involved in a serious collision with another car on the M4 motorway in West London on Sunday afternoon.
The 26-year old Senegalese was pulled out of the wreck by fire crew and other emergency services and rushed to the hospital by air, where he received treatment for his thigh and jaw injuries.
“Police are appealing for witnesses after a road traffic collision on the eastbound carriageway of the M4 Motorway,” read a Met Police statement, as reported by Express. “Officers were called shorty before 12:10 pm on Sunday, 11 September to reports of two cars in collision between junctions four and three.”
The same report also indicated that the driver of the other car involved in the crash “did not require hospital treatment.”
His club, Crystal Palace, commented: “Crystal Palace Football Club regret to confirm that Pape Souare was yesterday (Sunday) involved in a car accident and taken to hospital in London. The player sustained injuries to his thigh and jaw bone and will remain in hospital whilst he receives treatment. The club are liaising closely with the hospital on his progress and we obviously wish him a speedy recovery.”
