Harry Kane crash: Three of England star’s kids rushed to hospital after car smash in Germany on day striker flew to UK
THREE of Harry Kane’s kids were rushed to hospital after a multi-vehicle car crash in Germany.
His two daughters and one of his sons were involved in a pile-up in Germany on the day the Bayern Munich ace landed in England for his side’s 2-2 Champions League quarter-final first leg against Arsenal.
Kane, 30, played and scored in Tuesday night’s game — the day after the Monday afternoon crash.
A Renault driver, 20, smashed into a black Mercedes Vito while trying to turn onto a motorway slip road, as reported by Bild.
Three of the top striker’s children – Louis three, Vivienne, five, and Ivy, seven – were travelling in the Mercedes and were taken to hospital as a precaution.
A spokesman for Kane said: “There was a crash, but the kids are fine, and none were injured.
“No injuries at all. They went to hospital for a routine check-up.”
Kane’s wife Katie and their youngest child Henry, seven months, were not in the car.
The Mercedes was driven by a 24-year-old woman from the district and there were three passengers in the Renault, aged three, 43 and 48.
A Land Rover, driven by a 62-year-old woman, was also caught up in the shocking collision.
All eight people involved in the smash suffered minor injuries and were transported to hospital via ambulance and helicopters, cops said.
POLICE STATEMENT
In a statement, Munich police said: “On Monday, April 8th, 2024, around 5:15 p.m., a 20-year-old resident of Munich was driving a Renault car on state road 2071 towards the A95.
“A 48-year-old, a 43-year-old and a three-year-old (all of whom live in Munich) were also passengers in the 20-year-old’s car.
“At the same time, a 24-year-old resident of the Munich district was also driving a Mercedes car on State Road 2071 in the opposite direction.
“There were three children between the ages of five and seven in the 24-year-old’s vehicle (all of whom lived in the Munich district).
KANE BACK IN BRITAIN
Harry Kane returned to his former North London stomping ground on Tuesday night to haunt old foes Arsenal once again.
The ex-Tottenham talisman was back on these shores with Bayern Munich to take on the Gunners in the Champions League quarter-finals.
He helped the German giants to a 2-2 draw with Arsenal, with the two sides set to meet again in Munich next week.
Kane, 30, put Bayern 2-1 up from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute, after Leroy Sane had been fouled by William Saliba in the box.
After the game, the England captain spoke to TNT Sports.
He said: “Having no fans here tonight was tough. Having a full stadium [next week] will push us on.
“We had a big chance to go 3-1 up but Leroy didn’t put it away unfortunately.
“It’s been an amazing experience in Germany personally. To see a different culture and a different league.
“The league is gone this season but I am there for a long time.”
“At the junction with the A95, the 20-year-old wanted to turn left onto the motorway access road there. The 20-year-old’s car collided with the 24-year-old’s oncoming car.
“As a result, the 20-year-old’s car began to skid and collided with another Land Rover car belonging to a 62-year-old who lives in the Munich district and was on the exit of the A95 motorway slip road.
“All occupants of the vehicles involved suffered minor injuries as a result of the collision. They were taken to hospitals by helicopter and emergency services, among other things. The 62-year-old went to the doctor herself.
“There was material damage amounting to tens of thousands of euros.”
The spokesperson added the junction area was partially closed for about two hours.
Munich traffic police are now in charge of further investigation.
NEW LIFE IN GERMANY
Harry Kane and his family moved to Germany in August last year after the striker signed a £104million transfer to Bayern from Tottenham.
He moved his wife Kate and their four kids into a luxury £30million mansion previously owned by ex-Bayern stars Mehmet Scholl and Lucas Hernandez – in an area dubbed the Beverly Hills of Bavaria..
Katie and Harry are childhood sweethearts who have been together since they met in their school days.
The pair got engaged during July 2017, when Kane was aged 23, on a holiday in the Bahamas.
Kane got down on one knee on a beach to ask the question – then revealed on Twitter that “she said yes!”
The pair married in the summer of 2019, with Kane announcing that he had married his “best friend”.
They shared the birth of their latest child, baby boy Henry, on August 20, 2023.
Inside Harry and Kate’s life in ‘Germany’s Hollywood’
BEFORE finding their perfect family home, Harry and his clan had been staying in Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski, one of Munich’s most prestigious and exclusive hotels.
The five-star resort is frequented by celebs and footballers, costing an eye-watering £10,000 per night to stay.
Located 7.5 miles (12km) southwest of central Munich, Grünwald is a popular spot for Bayern players as it is only a 15-minute drive from the club’s training ground.
Kane is also joining the current Bayern squad living there; Alphonso Davies, Matthijs de Ligt, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Benjamin Pavard and Leroy Sane.
And Katie could also rub shoulders with new group of WAG pals including Anika Bissel, the partner of Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Peter Neuer.
There’s also Leroy Sane’s wife Candice Brook, a US model, TV personality and singer, and Mathea Fischer, the partner of Leon Goretzka.
The area is known as the “Bavarian Hollywood”, ans is Germany’s wealthiest municipality.
A source previously told MailOnline: “Grünwald is the Bavarian Beverly Hills. It’s the home of the rich and famous and offers the very best in luxury mansions.
“I can assure you that the Kane family will be in one of them and will enjoy their new life here.”
The family have a variety of high-end restaurants and eateries in the area.
They include Chang, a Michelin guide-listed Asian restaurant, which offers pick ‘n’ mix style sushi for £100, caviar for £450 and ribeye steak for £40.
Another Bayern star hotspot is H’ugo’s, which specialises in truffle pizza and pasta.
