Chelsea defender involved in car crash, smashes his £200,000 Mercedes into lamp post

Chelsea loanee Malang Sarr was lucky to avoid injury after he smashed his £200,000 Mercedes into a lamp post.

The 22-year-old – who joined the Blues last summer before being loaned out to Porto – crashed his car shortly after leaving training.

According to Portuguese news outlet Record, the centre-back lost control of his vehicle just 100 metres after departing Porto’s training ground.

They state that the accident involving the France youth international occurred on Wednesday in the early afternoon.

Initial reports stated that Sarr’s team-mate Moussa Marega was also in the car, however those claims have been shut down by Record.

Sarr is said to have walked away from the accident unscathed after the airbags deployed, however his Mercedes was bashed up.
