Samuel Woods, the Samaritan who helped Michail Antonio out of a car crash, has revealed that the footballer has no recollection of what happened or the Jamaican’s first words after the crash.
Antonio was involved in a car crash on Saturday and has undergone surgery for a broken leg, according to a statement from West Ham.
Other drivers also reported seeing smoke pouring from the wreckage — near to the home of West Ham owner David Sullivan.
One motorist, who passed by the scene just minutes after it happened, told The Sun: “I could see the car was a total mess.
“Because there was smoke coming out of the car people were too scared to approach it I think.”
Thousands of fans sent prayers and good wishes after news of the crash emerged.
A West Ham spokesman said yesterday: “Michail has undergone surgery on a lower limb fracture following a road traffic accident on Saturday afternoon. Michail will continue to be monitored in hospital over the coming days.
“Everyone at the club wishes Michail a speedy recovery and wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the football family at large for the overwhelming support shown since yesterday’s news.”
The club also extended a “heartfelt thank you to the emergency services and the medical team who continue to aid him in his recovery”.
Michail’s ex-wife Debbie travelled from her home in Manchester to be by his bedside.
Teammates past and present also sent goodwill messages to the popular star, including Declan Rice, who said: “Thinking of you and your family brother. Prayers to all of you.”
Maxwel Cornet wrote: “With you brother.”

Samuel Woods was driving home from a dog walk in Epping Forest when he spotted the Hammers’ luxury car. “I shouted ‘hello’ for survivors,”
“I heard sirens and told him help was on the way. “
He was very confused. He was saying to me: ‘Where am I? What’s going on? What am I driving in? ‘”. “
The paramedics were there so quick. I couldn’t believe it. The car was full of the smell of petrol.”
Woods also revealed that Antonio could not understand what he was saying to the footballer.
