West Ham Striker Michail Antonio Thanks Medics After Severe Car Crash

West Ham striker Michail Antonio expressed deep gratitude to the paramedics who saved his life following a severe car crash in December that left him with multiple femur fractures and a broken leg. The 35-year-old was trapped in his Ferrari after it crashed into a tree in Epping Forest and was rescued by Essex County Fire and Rescue and ambulance crews, who recognized him by a West Ham shirt in the vehicle. Antonio has no memory of the accident and was described as being 'incredibly repetitive' by Dr. James Moloney, a paramedic who attended to him. He spent over three weeks in hospital and is currently undergoing rehabilitation, aiming for a full return to football despite facing mental and physical challenges during recovery. Antonio's meeting with the paramedics was a humbling experience for him, and he acknowledged that without their intervention, he might not have survived. He also revealed that the incident has profoundly affected him and his family, highlighting the serious impact the crash had beyond just his physical injuries.
