Antonio stopped after he slipped in the rain and hit a tree while driving a 260,000-pound supercar (about 472 million won) on the 8th (Korea time). The vehicle was so badly broken that it could not be seen. The driver's side is broken, and the impact is believed to have sent Antonio to the passenger seat.
Fortunately, Antonio regained consciousness and was not life-threatening. However, he fractured his leg in the accident and underwent emergency surgery.
West Ham said on the 9th that `Antonio had a broken leg. "We will continue to be monitored at the hospital in the coming days..." he said. "All members of the club wish Antonio a speedy recovery and sincerely thank the football community as a whole for the overwhelming support shown after yesterday's news. We sincerely thank the emergency personnel who rescued him immediately after the accident and the medical staff who are helping him recover."
It was an urgent situation. Samuel Woods, who first spotted Antonio's vehicle while taking a walk, confirmed his survival by saying 'I said 'Hello' to him. When I heard the siren, I told him that help was coming soon"He lost his sense of direction. He said 'Where am I? What's going on? What car am I in?' he said," he said.
The witness was not a soccer fan. I didn't even know it was Antonio. Woods said "The paramedics arrived really quickly. I couldn't believe what happened. The car smelled of gasoline`````. So I just said 'I got into an accident' but he didn't answer. He was looking around to understand what I had just said. He was sitting in the passenger seat.'
Antonio couldn't escape alone. It took about an hour for paramedics to rescue Antonio. He was rushed to hospital by helicopter.
"Antonio is conscious and communicating," West Ham said in a statement the day before. It is currently under strict supervision in a central London hospital"All members of the club are with Antonio and his family and friends. At this difficult time, we earnestly ask everyone to respect the privacy of Antonio and his family."
Antonio's accident has prompted voices from colleagues, including former West Ham teammate Declan Rice (Arnall), to pray for his recovery. However, some predict that it will not be easy to return to the ground.
Antonio moved to West Ham in the English Premier League (EPL) from Nottingham Forest in the Championship (Second Division) in September 2015. He scored 68 goals in 267 appearances in the EPL. He holds West Ham's record for most goals. He has one goal in 14 matches in this season's EPL.
Antonio was born in England. He was selected for the England national team three times, but did not play in a single game. He changed his nationality to Jamaica in 2021 which is 'Parent's Country'. The Jamaican national team scored five goals in 21 A matches.
West Ham will play Hwang Hee-chan's Wolverhampton in the 15th round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season on the 10th.
