Former Liverpool star John Arne Riise and his daughter hospitalised after being involved in a car accident

John Arne Riise and his daughter have been hospitalised after being involved in a car accident.

The pair were on the way back to Alesund on Tuesday night when former Liverpool defender Riise was forced to swerve off the road, hitting his car into the rails at the side of the road.

Both Riise and his daughter Arianah were still conscious when they were taken to the hospital.

Riise's agent Erland Bakke told Norwegian outlet Dagbladet: 'He drove her home to Ålesund, and just before they arrived, something on the road caused John Arne Riise to quickly turn left, and drive into the road rails.
