Man United 's on-loan goalkeeper Andre Onana has miraculously avoided serious harm from a terrifying car accident in Turkey.
Onana, 30, and his family were involved in a multi-car pile-up on Thursday night when another vehicle smashed into his £100k Honggi E-HS9 from behind at high speed.
His car, often referred to as the 'Chinese Rolls-Royce', then ploughed into another one in front and emergency services rapidly descended on the scene on Yomra road near Trabzon.
Onana, who re-joined Trabzonspor on loan from United this season having also played for the Turkish club last term, was taken to hospital but later discharged.
Images appeared to show Onana's vehicle with damage to the bumper on the right side, while there was debris left scattered on the road.
Onana is married with a young son but it is not confirmed whether both family members were in the car with him at the time of the frightening collision.

> Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan told local media: 'Andre Onana was involved in a road traffic accident earlier this evening. > > 'There are no problems with him, and we wish him a speedy recovery.'
Only hours earlier, Onana kept a clean sheet in the UEFA Conference League in Trabzonspor's 2-0 win over Hearts.
The United loanee has been on fine form having held the opposition scoreless in four of his last five games and rebuilding his reputation after a nightmare spell at Old Trafford.
Onana became a maligned figure after numerous high-profile blunders for United having joined the club from Inter Milan for £43million in 2023.
The Cameroonian's United contract will expire in 2028 and it remains to be seen whether the club will be able to recoup any cash for the stopper or continue to loan him out.
Onana played 72 times for the club, who replaced him with Senne Lammens, and is likely to never wear the United shirt again.
He's helped Mo Salah and Co to fourth in the Turkish top flight this season, three points behind leaders Galatasaray.
