Andre Onana escapes serious injury after Turkey car crash

Andre Onana and members of his family have avoided serious injury after the Trabzonspor goalkeeper was involved in a three-vehicle road accident in Turkey.

The incident happened on Thursday evening in Yomra, near Trabzon, as the Cameroon international was returning home after Trabzonspor’s 2-0 victory over Scottish club Hearts in the Conference League.

According to reports in the Turkish media, Onana’s vehicle was hit from behind before colliding with another car, causing a chain-reaction crash involving three vehicles. His family were also travelling in the vehicle at the time.

Onana was taken to hospital as a precaution, but medical examinations found no serious injuries. He was subsequently allowed to leave and returned home.

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan moved to reassure supporters over the goalkeeper’s condition after the accident.

The incident occurred only a few hours after a successful evening for Onana, who had helped his team secure victory against Hearts without conceding a goal.

Trabzonspor have not confirmed whether the accident will affect Onana’s availability for their next fixture. At this stage, there is no confirmed information to suggest that he will miss the club’s upcoming match.
