Mario Balotelli had a lucky escape after a harrowing car crash involving his Audi Q8 in his hometown of Brescia in Italy.
The incident occurred at 8.30 pm on Thursday, and while no other parties were involved, it’s reported that Balotelli refused to take a breathalyser test after the crash.
According to sources, the former Manchester City striker lost control of his vehicle, crashing it into a wall, causing the airbags to deploy.
Despite the impact, Balotelli managed to exit the wreckage and received immediate attention from paramedics.
Local authorities attempted to administer a breathalyser test, but the Italian international declined, resulting in the confiscation of his driving licence.
Balotelli’s brother, Enock Barwuah, arrived at the scene after returning from football training, taking Balotelli home.
The incident comes shortly after Balotelli’s return to Turkish Super Lig side Adana Demirspor, where he has made an impressive impact with three goals in five games.
