West Ham midfielder crashes Lamborghini into garden on Christmas Day

 

West Ham midfielder Michail Antonio escaped unhurt when he crashed his Lamborghini into a garden in Balham, South London on Christmas Day evening.

West Ham star Michail Antonio escaped unhurt after crashing his Lamborghini into a stranger’s garden while dressed as a snowman on Christmas Day.

The former Nottingham Forest flier crashed into the house in Balham, south London at around 6.30pm on Wednesday.

Antonio was dressed in the festive outfit after posting a video to his Instagram page earlier in the day singing ‘Walking in the Air’.

West Ham trained earlier on Christmas Day and were due to meet up at the team hotel ahead of their trip to Crystal Palace on Boxing Day, which the Eagles won 2-1.

Kia Rosina, who was in the house, told The Athletic: “Dinner was nearly ready and then I just heard this massive bang and the whole house shook. There are two big sheds out there and they’re both bricks, and they went everywhere.

“At first, I thought it was a bus due to how loud the bang was. I looked outside and then I said, ‘Mum!’ then we ran outside to see if whoever was in the car was fine.

“As soon as I heard the bang, my heart was beating fast because obviously, I was worried. I didn’t know what was happening or if the driver had hit the house but then I looked out of the window and thankfully, it hadn’t.

“When we went out, we thought the driver was going to be hurt really badly because it didn’t look good. My mum ran out before me so by the time I got out of the house, he (had) jumped out of the car in his snowman outfit. Once we realised no-one was hurt, we were all relieved.”
