Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has shared his harrowing experience of surviving a severe car accident in Germany.

The incident, which involved a collision with a lorry, left Boniface hospitalized, just one day after he had scored in Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-1 Bundesliga win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

In an interview with Football Fans Tribe on YouTube, the 23-year-old forward recalled the terrifying moment of the accident. He revealed that although the car was completely destroyed, his life was his primary concern.

The damages to the vehicle were estimated at around £167,000, but Boniface expressed gratitude for surviving the ordeal.

He said: “I was having my childhood friend from Nigeria; they were coming to visit. So, we were supposed to pick them up from the airport. I was sleeping, and my other friend was driving.

“I woke up, and we were spinning—well, we thank God. The car spun three times before coming to a stop.

“Despite the severity of the accident, I just had a scar, but the most important thing is that I’m alive.

“The car is written off and everything, but the most important thing is life for me.”
