Moment footballer Sofian Kiyine’s car ploughs into sports hall after going airborne in highspeed roundabout crash
THIS is the dramatic moment Sofian Kiyine’s car smashed into a sports hall after flying over a roundabout at high speed.
The footballer was rushed to hospital after appearing to lose control of the wheel on a road in Liege, Belgium.
There were children in the sports hall at the time, but no one was hurt as the youngsters had gone to the changing rooms moments before the crash.
Kiyine, who was born in Belgium but has played for Morocco at an international level, was taken to hospital following the smash on Thursday evening, but his condition is not life-threatening.
Shocking footage shows the Oud-Heverlee Leuven star’s car hurtling along a road.
It then skids up a roundabout and is sent cruising through the air before crashing into a sports hall, leaving a massive hole in the building.
Authorities are investigating the incident.
A spokesman for OH Leuven said: “The club learned that Sofian Kiyine was involved in a serious car accident near Liege last night.
“Kiyine was taken to the emergency department of the nearest hospital where further examinations are taking place.
“He is not in a life-threatening condition.
“Fortunately, no other vehicles or persons were involved in the accident.
“The club is waiting for more clarity about the exact circumstances of how the accident came about before responding further.
“We wish Sofian a speedy recovery.”
The speed limit along the road is 55mph, reports HLN.
It is unclear how fast Kiyine was driving at the time of the crash
