BRACE YOURSELF: Paul Konchesky in a neck brace after a car crash

Leicester City defender Paul Konchesky was involved in a serious car crash on Sunday.

The 34-year-old left back suffered cuts and bruising after an accident that wrote off his Mercedes.

The former West Ham, Fulham and Liverpool star revealed the full horror of the smash on social media.

Konchesky – who has spent the season on-loan at Championship side Queens Park Rangers – somehow managed to escape the crash without serious injury.

The same cannot be said for this sports car – which appeared to be a write-off.

Konchesky was allowed home later on Sunday.

The dad-of-two wrote on Instagram: "Wow, what a day!

“But at least I'm home now with my family and these two are putting a smile back on my face.”

His wife Lynzy posted an image of her husband being taken away on a stretcher by medics.

She said it was a "miracle" Konchesky avoided being seriously hurt.

She posted: "Someone up there was watching over my hubby today.”

She added: "He has walked away from A&E after this bad car crash today with a few cuts and bruises, no broken bones.

“It's a miracle.”o
