Michail Antonio: West Ham striker meets those who saved his life after car ******

Antonio, who previously explained he has no memory of the accident, crashed and was trapped in his car. He was freed by crew from Essex County Fire and Rescue Service who left him in the care of ambulance staff.

West Ham, in an initial announcement about the ******, said their “thoughts and prayers” were with Antonio.

The seriousness of the accident is not lost on the former Nottingham Forest player.

He said of the paramedics: “I don’t remember their faces at all. It’s crazy because of how important you guys were to me.”

Moon explained how he and Dr Moloney knew who they were treating: “There was one clue – there was a West Ham shirt in the passenger seat with Antonio on it.”

Antonio asked if he was speaking after the incident, and Moloney told him: “Yes, you were incredibly repetitive, but that happens when people bump their head.

“We kept asking about your football, who your manager was, whether you are enjoying your football. From our point of view, you were talking which was really reassuring for us.”

The paramedics explained Antonio was discovered on the back seat of the car and “quickly assessed” to have had fractured his femur.

He was given pain relief, strapped to a board and put in an ambulance to shield him from the cold and rain.

The ****** came as Storm Darragh battered the ***.

Meetings with paramedics are offered after life-threatening incidents to help patients rationalise what happened to them.

Antonio was able to ask questions, including querying whether he was taken to hospital by air ambulance.

Moloney clarified: “Whenever we can, we fly to hospital because it is quicker, but on the day the pilot quite rightly said no [because of the storm].”

Antonio was driven to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.

In a previous interview with Morning Live in March, Antonio said: “I’ve always been a fan of sports cars, but I can’t lie to you, sports cars are not my friends. So right now, I have a Mercedes people carrier and my brother is my driver.

“For now, anyway, I’m staying far away from sports cars.”
