Collingwood player Brayden Maynard was involved in a car accident in Melbourne on Thursday. Fortunately, both he and the occupants of the other vehicle were unharmed. Charlie Gardiner, Collingwood’s football manager, confirmed that it was an unfortunate incident, but everyone involved came out safe.
Details of the crash emerged via Tom Morris, Nine’s chief AFL reporter, revealing that Maynard’s car had collided with a utility vehicle. Witnesses described the incident as alarming, but overall, it ended without injury, leading to a collective sigh of relief amongst those involved.
Maynard is expected to be fit to participate in the upcoming match against the Power on Saturday, following a disappointing 52-point defeat against Greater Western Sydney the previous Sunday. This incident adds to the weekend’s drama but fortunately, it did not lead to any injuries.
With the team looking to bounce back, all eyes will be on Maynard’s availability as they prepare for what promises to be an intense game ahead.
