Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface survived a crash with a lorry which saw him rushed to hospital on Sunday morning.
Boniface, 23, had scored in Leverkusen’s 2-1 Bundesliga victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday night but ended up in a collision with damages worth up to £167,000.
The Nigerian international shared a video of his smashed vehicle on social media and a nasty picture of his blood-drenched left hand. The right front of his car was wrecked.
He later took a selfie of himself in his hospital bed and captioned the post: ‘Thank you Lord’.
He only suffered two minor hand injuries, German newspaper Bild claims.
No details of the driver or any other potential passengers’ conditions are recorded.
The outlet says that Boniface, a passenger in a Mercedes driving to pick up friends at Frankfurt airport, was involved in a crash with a lorry at 7am local time on Sunday morning.
According to the police, the driver lost control of the Mercedes due to tiredness, skidded into the truck, and was overturned by the collision.
Boniface also wrote on X: ‘God is the greatest’.
