Victor Boniface, the Super Eagles of Nigeria forward, is lucky to be alive after a terrifying car accident on Sunday, October 20. The 23-year-old Bayer Leverkusen player was driving to the airport to meet friends when his Mercedes Benz collided with an oncoming truck ¹. Thankfully, no lives were lost in the harrowing incident.
Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning German Bundesliga champions, quickly reassured fans that Boniface didn’t suffer any serious injuries. A club spokesperson confirmed to German news outlet Bild that he’s recovering well, with only two minor hand injuries ¹.
This close call comes on the heels of Boniface’s impressive performance in Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. He scored the decisive goal 18 minutes before the final whistle, redeeming himself after missing a penalty kick earlier in the match ¹.
The Nigeria national team has since reacted to the accident, urging fans to send their well-wishes to the striker. It’s clear that Boniface has the support of his team and fans as he recovers from this scary ordeal ¹.
