West Ham striker open
Antonio on horror crash: “Almost died”
In an interview with BBC One, Michail Antonio spoke openly about his horror accident last December. "I almost died," said the Jamaican.
Antonio was driving his Ferrari in the English county of Essex at the end of last year when he left the road and crashed into a tree at full speed. The 34-year-old was trapped in his car for 45 minutes before the emergency services arrived at the scene of the accident.
The West Ham pro now emotionally recalled the day: "I had a strange feeling in my stomach. That's when I realized how close I was to death. I had seen the pictures, but in reality it was ten times worse. The car was a wreck. It was hard for me."
No memory
The striker could not remember the accident. "The police came and when they found me, I was lying between the two seats. I wasn't actually in the driver's seat. They said it looked like I had tried to climb out of the window. But because my leg was so badly broken, the pain probably stopped me. I can't remember anything, which is strange because the whole time I was told I was awake and talking to everyone - the police and the person who found me," Antonio went on to explain.
A rod with four screws had been surgically inserted into the striker's thigh. After a few weeks in hospital, the 21-time Jamaican team player is now working on his comeback.
