West Ham United striker Michail Antonio has been involved in a frightening car accident, though the Premier League star has reportedly avoided major injuries.
The incident occurred earlier this week when Antonio's high-performance vehicle collided with another car on a London road. Emergency services rushed to the scene, but remarkably, the 33-year-old footballer walked away with only minor bumps and bruises.

"So relieved to hear Michail is okay," wrote one fan on Twitter. "Cars can be replaced - people can't. Wishing him a speedy recovery."
Antonio has been a key player for the Hammers since joining from Nottingham Forest in 2015, making over 250 appearances for the club.
