Alexis lucky to be alive
SportAlexis Sánchez has a miracle - plus the safety systems in his powerful car - to thank for still being alive. At around 2:30 on Thursday morning, he lost control of his vehicle - for reasons that have yet to be determined, although all evidence seems to suggest he was speeding - and crashed into the traffic barrier.
The Barça forward abandoned the car at the scene and is alleged to have been taken home by a teammate, who was driving along the same road behind the Chilean. They failed to notify the police, who instead found out when a witness phoned in to report the accident. Alexis was subsequently tracked down using the car's registration number.
Luckily - and amazingly - Alexis walked away from the crash without a scratch.
