Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is ‘unharmed’ after being involved in a near-fatal car crash on Friday, according to reports.
The England international ‘avoided death by inches’ after a 40-foot electricity pylon was uprooted in 70mph winds, The Sun have reported.
They claim that while Alexander-Arnold was left ‘shaken’ – he is unharmed without any injuries – after the incident occurred on a wet country lane in Cheshire.
It is thought that Alexander-Arnold was forced to slam the brakes on his £90,000 Range Rover and swerved before colliding with another car.
‘At 10.34am we were called to reports of a road traffic collision involving a black Range Rover and a BMW,’ Cheshire Police said in a statement.
‘An electricity pole had fallen into the road, causing the accident. Nobody was injured and everything was cleared by 1.05pm.
‘We called the energy company and had the electricity turned off.’
