English-born Nigerian footballer Jordan Chiedozie is currently in a coma after being hit by a car on the motorway.
The 30-year-old had played for non-league side Bashley FC against Tavistock at the weekend.
While on the way back from the away game, Chiedozie, alongside Bashley physio Reighan Taylor, suffered a flat tire on the motorway.
The player sustained “life-changing, and potentially life-threatening” injuries after being struck by another vehicle on the M27 when he stepped out to assess the flat tire situation.
Reacting to the incident, the club, in a statement, wrote: “Everyone connected with Bashley Football Club is devastated by the news of our player Jordan Chiedozie, currently in the hospital with life-changing, and potentially life-threatening injuries, after a serious car crash.
“Jordan was taken to Southampton Hospital with multiple broken bones and other physical injuries. At this time, he remains in a controlled coma.”
