On Sunday, Victor Boniface posted images and a video of a wrecked car on Instagram, but those posts have since been removed. Additionally, he uploaded what looked to be a photo of his blood stained hand. On Sunday morning, the Nigerian forward was traveling with his Mercedes to Frankfurt airport.
He sustained minor injuries to his hand after the car collided with a truck. According to police sources cited in the story, the driver lost control of the vehicle because of exhaustion and swerved from the middle lane to the right, colliding with the truck. The Mercedes overturned as a result of the collision which suggested that it might have caused a few major injuries to the Nigerian star.
After receiving medical attention and examination in the hospital, the driver and Boniface have safely returned to Koln. The truck’s driver was unharmed. The projected total damage is slightly less than €200,000.
