Man U midfielder Anderson has miraculous car crash escape
August 2nd, 2010 - 1:11 pm ICT by ANILondon, Aug.2 (ANI): Manchester United midfielder Anderson was dragged unconscious from the burning wreckage of his car after a crash on Sunday morning.
According to local reports, 22-year-old Anderson had spent the night at the Sardinha Biba nightclub before leaving in a 125,000-pound Audi R8.
According to The Sun, the crash occurred at 7 a.m. when the high-powered car came off the road and hit the wall of a farm before flying into a field.
Although the French-registered car was a two-seater, Anderson had two companions - a friend, whose name was given only as Victor, and a young Brazilian woman, whose details have not been released.
It is unclear who was driving, but there were unconfirmed allegations it could lead to a drink-driving charge and a possible offence of allegedly having excess passengers.
All three were taken to St Mark’s hospital but discharged by late morning after being treated for concussion, whiplash and shock.
Manchester United was unavailable for comment tonight. (ANI)
