West Ham star Manuel Lanzini has thanked everyone for their well wishes after he miraculously walked away unhurt from a 'very big' car crash on the A12.

The 29-year-old midfielder was being driven by a chauffeur in a £70,000 Mercedes people carrier when it lost control on Wednesday afternoon after 2:30pm.

The vehicle – a V-Class Mercedes with a West Ham number plate – landed on its side leaving many onlookers fearing for the worst.

But a club spokesperson confirmed to Sportsmail that the Argentina international then emerged from the crash unhurt as firefighters and police raced to the scene, and confirmed Lanzini did not sustain any injuries.
