“I almost died”: Antonio opens up about his car crash

In early December, West Ham forward Michail Antonio practically celebrated a second birthday. In a horrific car crash, he suffered only a broken leg, surviving the ordeal. He is gradually coming to terms with what happened.

Details: Antonio revealed that he doesn’t know how he crashed into that ill-fated tree. At the same time, he feels ashamed of the accident, and it will haunt him psychologically for a long time.

Quote: “All I know is that I crashed into a tree. I don’t know how I crashed into the tree, but the police arrived, and when they found me in the car, I was lying between two seats. After the accident, I became a more emotional person. I won’t lie, I avoided coming back because I was a bit ashamed of the accident and a bit embarrassed about the mishap.

Obviously, I almost died in the crash, and I was just a bit embarrassed that it was so bad. I’ve somewhat dealt with it. I think the emotions will take a long time to settle. Physically, I’m getting better, but the psychological trauma lasts a long time. So there will always be times when something affects me. Now I have a big car. In any case, from now on, I’m staying away from sports cars,” Antonio is quoted by the site football.london.

Reminder: Previously, the forward attended his first West Ham match since the accident.
