Bayer Leverkusen and Nigeria star Victor Boniface was involved in a serious car accident in the early hours of Sunday, October 20, 2024, after their victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 23-year-old footballer shared footage of the aftermath on his Instagram, shocking fans with images of the wreckage and his bloodied hand.
Boniface was a passenger in a Mercedes that collided with a truck on the A3 highway while on his way to Frankfurt Airport to pick up friends.
The car was severely damaged, but fortunately, Boniface escaped with only minor injuries, including cuts to his hand.
In a video posted on social media, Boniface is seen swaying to music inside the car, which has a signature starry sky roof.
Despite the frightening incident, Leverkusen has confirmed that the striker is fine.
Boniface himself reflected on the accident, stating, “God said my time has not yet come,” alongside images of the totalled vehicle.
This accident marks the end of a tumultuous week for Boniface, who had already faced travel difficulties with Nigeria’s national team and missed a penalty before scoring the winning goal against Frankfurt in a Bundesliga match.
Despite these challenges, Boniface’s resilience shines through as he recovers from the crash.
