FORMER Premier League star John Paintsil has cheated death in a horrific road smash.
The ex-West Ham and Fulham defender, 43, now works as Ghana’s assistant manager.
Paintsil was travelling back to capital city Accra on Saturday after watching a national cup final, together with Ghana boss Otto Addo and goalkeeping coach Fatawu Dauda.
But their Toyota Land Cruiser was involved in a collision with a pick-up truck on the road back from south-western town Tarkwa.
Footage and photos show the wrecked SUV with one side caved in and wheels missing.
The three Black Stars coaches were rushed to hospital in Takoradi for emergency treatment.
They are due to undergo further investigations in Accra before preparing the national team for upcoming games against Angola and Niger.
The Ghana FA said: “Members of the Black Stars technical team were involved in a road accident while returning from Tarkwa.
“All three members of the technical team are in stable condition, and will undergo further medical assessments upon their return to Accra.” – Sun.
