A splintered tree and the shattered remains of Michail Antonio's £260,000 Ferrari today reveal how the star footballer is lucky to be alive as police investigate the cause of the crash amid fears that his injuries are career-threatening.
The 34-year-old Premier league striker was found badly hurt and confused after being thrown from the driver's seat into the passenger side of his Italian supercar after the smash in Epping Forest on Saturday lunchtime.
He is believed to have been stuck in the wreckage for an hour after the crash before being cut out by the emergency services and rushed to a central London hospital.
