Footballer Mbaye Niang involved in another car accident

Mbaye Niang, the Senegalese striker currently playing for Empoli in Serie A, found himself involved in a car accident on Monday, as reported by the Italian press.

The incident occurred on Monday evening in Florence, Tuscany, where Niang’s Mercedes collided with several stationary vehicles before coming to a halt against a parish building wall.

Reports from Prima Firenze indicate that while Niang and another person were in the car, fortunately, no serious injuries were sustained by any of the parties involved.

Details regarding the circumstances of the accident, including who was driving at the time, remain undisclosed.

However, sources suggest that both Niang and his companion emerged from the incident unharmed.

This is not the first time Niang has been involved in such incidents. Earlier this year in February, his SUV collided with parked cars in Empoli, albeit without causing any injuries.

However, his history with automobile mishaps extends further back, with notable incidents during his time at Montpellier and AC Milan, where he faced legal repercussions and time off the field due to accidents involving his vehicles.

Despite these setbacks, Niang has remained a pivotal figure for Empoli this season, contributing significantly to their campaign in Serie A.

With just three matches remaining, including an upcoming fixture against Lazio, his availability for selection is crucial for Empoli as they seek to secure their position in the league.

As investigations into the latest accident continue, fans and stakeholders await further updates on Niang’s condition and any potential implications for his involvement in upcoming matches.
