Bayer Leverkusen Striker, Super Eagles Star, Boniface Involved In Car Crash
Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface was involved in a car crash on Sunday, a day after the club’s 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Boniface, who scored a 72nd-minute winner in Saturday’s match, on Sunday shared pictures and video of a smashed car in since-deleted posts on Instagram, as well as what appeared to be a picture of his hand covered in blood.
A club source said Boniface was doing well after the incident.
German tabloid Bild reported that the Nigeria international was a passenger in the car en route to Frankfurt airport and suffered minor hand injuries before being taken to hospital.
In a post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Boniface wrote: “God is the greatest”.
The Hessen state police website said the accident occurred on Sunday morning.
“A 28-year-old was driving a Mercedes in the middle of three lanes in the direction of Frankfurt when, according to his own account, he lost control of the vehicle due to fatigue and collided sideways with a truck that was driving in the right lane next to the Mercedes,” the report added.
Boniface’s management agency did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
The 23-year-old Boniface has scored seven goals in 10 appearances for Leverkusen across all competitions this season.
German champions Leverkusen, who are fourth in the Bundesliga standings with 14 points from seven games, face French side Brest in the Champions League on Wednesday.
