Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran found himself in a precarious situation just hours before his club's Europa Conference League tie with Lille, as he was involved in a car crash in his luxury SUV.
The 20-year-old Colombian forward was photographed at the scene of the accident, standing next to his £73,000 BMW X6 in Birmingham. Despite the extensive damage to the front of his vehicle, Duran emerged unscathed from the collision, which occurred on Holloway Head B4127.
