'Drink and drugs' ruled out as cause of Michail Antonio's car crash as police investigation continues while West Ham striker recovers from surgery in hospital

Premier League

Bournemouth

West Ham

<p><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32232519/footballer-star-horror-crash-antonio/" target="_blank">The Sun</a> claim 'drink and drugs' weren't involved in Antonio's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/west-ham-michail-antonio-car-crash-statement-thoughts-prayers/blt94119665e13bdb70" target="_blank">horror car crash</a> that left the West Ham striker with a lower limb fracture. Police are also operating under the impression that a third party wasn't involved in the moments before Antonio's Ferrari FF struck a tree in Essex on Saturday.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Antonio was trapped in his car <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/michail-antonio-wreckage-horror-car-crash-trapped-west-ham-ex-wife-hospital/blt9835abab069c966d" target="_blank">for nearly an hour</a> before being airlifted to hospital. He's since <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/michail-antonio-undergoes-surgery-on-leg-fracture-as-west-ham-offer-update-on-striker-after-horrific-car-crash/blt859cb6c2c36b4034" target="_blank">undergone surgery</a> and is expected to be out <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/michail-antonio-out-of-action-for-at-least-a-year-undergoing-surgery-broken-leg-horror-car-smash/bltaba24477f3852687" target="_blank">for at least a year</a>, with a decision awaiting West Ham over his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/west-ham-could-extend-michail-antonio-s-contract-breaking-leg-sustained-in-car-crash-club-unable-claim-money-back-over-insurance/blte0ffd836069b2fbf" target="_blank">future at the club</a>. Meanwhile, police are still trying to find out what led to the crash, with there being no suggestion of excessive speeding either.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>“Drink and drugs have already been ruled out, and officers are not currently looking for anyone else," a source told <em>The Sun</em>.</p><p>“There is no smoking gun as far as cops are concerned right now - but they have to investigate because the smash was so serious and caused such extensive injuries.</p><p>“Just because cops are involved doesn’t mean a crime has been committed.”</p><p></p>

WHAT A SOURCE SAID

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/michail-antonio-martin-allen-emotional-tribute-west-ham-car-crash/blt9c9145c0eac3fad2" target="_blank">Tributes have poured in</a> for the 34-year-old, with West Ham keeping fans updated on his progress on social media. The Hammers squad have also shown their public support for Antonio, wearing shirts with his name and number on the back in the warm-up before their 2-1 Premier League win over Wolves on Monday night.</p>
