West Hams Mikhail Antonio meets the paramedics who saved their lives after the crash of horror car on December 7, 2024.
Mikhail Antonio was involved in a devastating car accident when his Ferrari in Epping Forest, Essex, during a stormy weather by Sturmdarragh with a tree in Epping Forest, Essex, collided with a tree.
The crash let it caught in the wreck with a broken leg and in a state of the orientation for over 45 minutes.
Rescue services, including paramedics, firefighters and a team of aircraft, quickly worked to get him free and to take him to a hospital in the center of London, where he had operated on.
Antonio later played that he felt “almost dying” and was deeply grateful for the second chance in life.
Months later, perhaps in early 2025, Antonio, who is now limping on crutches, but with a determined smile, stands opposite the paramedics who ran to the aid of this stormy day.
The attitude could be a quiet hospital room or a warm reunion at the London Stadium, in which the fans of West Ham have already shown their unshakable support in banners and applause. His eyes could be very up – Antonio has admitted to being more emotional since the crash – when he shakes her hands or pulls them into a grateful hug.
He pressed publicly into the NHS, the Air Ambulance and the rescue workers. The paramedics, probably modest and yet proud, could share their side: the urgency of the call, the smell of gasoline in the air, the relief when they found it alive in the middle of the crumpled metal.
This imaginary encounter is aimed at Antonio’s journey – his openness about the trauma, therapy and its relentless optimism about returning to the pitch.
