A tragic incident has struck Royal Antwerp, as one of Super Eagles midfielder Alhassan Yusuf’s teammates, Eliot Matazo, has been involved in a fatal road accident resulting in the death of an 85-year-old cyclist.
Reports confirm that the police conducted saliva and alcohol tests on Matazo, both of which returned negative results.
The accident occurred when the elderly cyclist allegedly crossed a red light, possibly impaired by the glare of the sun, and Matazo, unable to avoid the collision, was involved in the unfortunate incident.
In an official statement released by Antwerp, they expressed their condolences to the cyclist’s family and emphasized that while the investigation is ongoing, all evidence points towards this being an unfortunate accident.
Matazo and the club are deeply affected by the events and have refrained from making further statements until the investigation reaches its conclusion.
Fans have responded with messages of support and well-wishes for all parties involved, acknowledging the gravity of the situation and hoping for a positive outcome amidst the sorrow.
