Midnight Collision Shakes Trabzon
Trabzonspor goalkeeper Andre Onana escaped injury when his vehicle became involved in a multi-vehicle traffic accident in northern Türkiye on Thursday night. The collision occurred in the Yomra district of Trabzon as the 30-year-old Cameroon international was driving home with his family following a UEFA Conference League fixture against Scottish side Hearts, according to local news outlet 61Saat.
The incident unfolded after Trabzonspor secured a 2-0 victory over Hearts at Papara Park. Onana had just helped his team keep a clean sheet in the European fixture when another vehicle struck his car from behind, pushing it forward into a third automobile in a chain-reaction collision, local reports stated.
Club Officials Rush to the Scene

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan subsequently confirmed that the goalkeeper and his family emerged completely unharmed from the wreckage. While circulating media images showed visible damage to the player’s vehicle, subsequent reports from talkSPORT indicated that the athlete was taken to a hospital for precautionary checks before being quickly discharged.
