Andre Onana rushed to hospital after horror multi-car crash
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, currently spending the season on loan in the Turkish Super Lig, was reportedly involved in a serious road accident on Thursday night.
The incident occurred just hours after Onana had helped his temporary side to a clean sheet and a victory over Scottish side Hearts in the Conference League.
Onana was reportedly caught up in a multi-car smash while travelling home from the fixture. Local reports suggest the accident took place on the Yomra road, situated near the Black Sea resort of Trabzon, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.
According to Daily Star, details emerging from the scene indicate that the crash was a chain-reaction event involving three different vehicles.

Local witnesses and media reports claim another car reportedly collided with the rear of Onana’s vehicle at high speed. This initial impact forced the goalkeeper’s car into the vehicle ahead of him, sandwiching the player in a frightening high-speed pile-up that left substantial wreckage scattered across the road.
Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan moved quickly to address the growing concerns regarding the player’s wellbeing.
Speaking to local media outlets, the club chief confirmed the accident had taken place and provided an initial update on the goalkeeper’s condition. Dogan stated: “Andre Onana was involved in a road traffic accident earlier this evening. There are no problems with him, and we wish him a speedy recovery.”
Onana was taken to a local medical facility as a precautionary measure following the impact. Medical staff at the hospital were tasked with evaluating the player for potential internal injuries or concussion symptoms that are often associated with high-velocity road accidents.
Trabzonspor have not yet released a secondary medical report confirming when he might be cleared to return to training.
