Most modern footballers have some inexplicable love for expensive and fast cars. Very often in the news headlines, players appear as persistent traffic offenders.

However, what happened to the football player of the Belgian championship is very reminiscent of an expensive blockbuster. Significant speeding led to a terrible accident.

Only a miracle saved from numerous victims.

The car crashed through the wall

Midfielder Sofyan Kiyin did not achieve any significant success on the football field by the age of 25, although he spent several seasons in Italy. There he played for such well-known teams as Lazio, Venezia, Salernitana … Now the Moroccan plays for Oud Heverle Leuven in the Belgian elite division.

On March 30, Sofyan became the hero of local news feeds. The football player got into a terrible accident. According to media reports, Kiyin was driving through the commune of Flemal in a Mercedes car with a significant excess of the speed limit. Instead of the permitted 90 km/h, the vehicle raced at a speed of 200 km/h.

On a dangerous section of the road, Sofyan lost control, and his car flew up from a collision with a curb to the height of the second floor. The car flew into the wall of the sports complex, and the impact was enough to break through it. The football player, along with his iron horse, ended up on the basketball court. Stopped “gelding” only the support beam.
