Watch: Shocking aftermath of West Ham star Manuel Lanzini’s horror crash which he survived scot-free

This is the dramatic aftermath of West Ham star Manuel Lanzini’s horror crash, which he miraculously managed to walk away from unscathed.

The £70K Mercedes the ace was travelling in came off the road and flipped on its side on the A12 near Romford, Havering, yesterday afternoon, as he was being chauffeur-driven to the Hammers’ Rush Green training base.

Footage shows firefighters surrounding the V-Class - complete with a West Ham number plate - which is on its side in a ditch.

Fellow motorists stopped to help the West Ham ace, and an Audi can be seen parked by the grass verge.

The driver had to be cut free from the wreckage, however police reported no injuries.

Lanzini, who was on international duty with Argentina, was said to be fine to take part in training, and is expected to play against Everton at the weekend.

A source told the Sun: “It’s a miracle he’s alive, from what I’ve heard.

“This was an incredibly near miss and could have killed Lanzini and the driver.

“It’s common for West Ham players to use a chauffeur service - especially for those who live in town.

“They were on a dual carriageway so it could have caused complete carnage.

“Just goes to show, it doesn’t matter how much cash you have - we’re all just as vulnerable to a smash like this.

“Thank goodness he was okay.”

The midfielder has faced a string of driving offences since joining the Hammers in 2015, including speeding, driving without insurance and failing to produce.

West Ham confirmed the crash, saying: “It happened on the A12 near the training ground.”

A Met Police spokesperson said: “Police were called at 12.49pm on Thursday, 31 March to reports of a collision on the A12 in Romford.

“Officers attended and it was reported that a car had left the westbound carriageway before colliding with a tree. No injuries were reported.”
