- 2 years ago
Former English footballer Andy Carroll has been involved in a horrific head-on accident.
His £130,000 Mercedes GLS SUV collided with a Ford Fiesta, displacing it 30 yards down the road.
Witnesses living on the residential street recounted how the former Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham striker looked "stunned and in shock" when he got out of his monster engine.
The 33-year-old ponytailed player quickly went to check on the three people in the red Fiesta.
A front wheel came off Carroll's black Merc. The side panels and part of the bumper were also destroyed.
Witnesses said Carroll, 33, who had been behind the wheel, was tested for breathalyzers along with the female driver of the Fiesta. No arrests were made.
Carroll and a male friend with him escaped injury.
A male Fiesta passenger in his 50s was taken to hospital after complaining of chest pains.
Steve Garboulb saw the accident at 3:25 p.m. m. Saturday in Romford, East London, and said: "I was lucky no one died.
“The Fiesta and Mercedes collided head-on and another vehicle was hit in the carnage. It was a freak accident."
John Cooper, who lives nearby, said: "I heard the most horrible explosion.
“I saw Andy Carroll get out of his vehicle. He wandered around in a daze.
"Andy was in shock, but he was like, 'What do you think of my car?' I was like, 'I think it's a cancellation, man.'
The police were investigating.
Carroll, who has nine England caps, spent the second half of last season with Championship side West Bromwich Albion but his contract was not renewed.
He was approached for comment.
