Footballer turned into a 'human missile': Kiyine takes off in car and lands in a gym

Belgian footballer Sofian Kiyine, known for playing with Salernitana and Venezia, was involved in a serious car accident. After hitting a roundabout at high speed, Kiyine lost control of the vehicle, which ended up in a gym.

Allegedly, the soccer player hit the edge of a traffic circle, losing control of the vehicle, which, at high speed, literally took off. The edge of the traffic circle acted as a trampoline, launching the car into the air.

Firefighters responded promptly, rescuing the soccer player and transporting him to the hospital. Although Kiyine is not in life-threatening conditions, he suffered several fractures as a result of the accident.
