Non league club Frimley Green have sadly had to confirm the death of an U18s player with other teammates of his left in intensive care.
A tweet was posted onto the Combined Counties League Premier Division outfit’s official Twitter account on Sunday night, with tributes and prayers pouring out.
The Surrey based football team said the death of one of its ‘promising’ young players came during a serious crash in Tongham near Aldershot.
Surrey Police
Frimley Green FC took to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to share the news that one of their squad members was killed during the two-vehicle collision in Oxenden Road, which occurred just after 1am on Sunday (September 26).
The club also stated several more of their players were involved in the incident and remain in hospital – some in intensive care.
They wrote: “It is with great sadness that Frimley Green Football Club confirm the tragic loss of one of our promising young U18 players, in a fatal car accident Saturday night. Several other club players were involved in the incident and remain in hospital, some in intensive care.”
Surrey Police continues to appeal for witnesses to the crash.
The force says the teenage driver of a Volkswagen Polo was killed when the car collided head-on with a taxi travelling in the opposite direction.
The front seat passenger and six other passengers were taken to hospital, two of whom suffered “serious injuries” and remained in hospital as of 2.30pm on Sunday.
Just after 11pm on Sunday night, Frimley Green thanked everyone for the comment and messages they received, and continued to say that they were still praying for those also fighting for their life.
The taxi driver suffered minor injuries and was also taken to hospital. However, he was not carrying any passengers at the time.
Detective Sergeant Kani Barawi, who is dealing with the incident, said: “Our thoughts remain with the families of the boys involved in this tragic incident, which has left one teenager dead and two more in a serious condition in hospital.
“We are working hard to establish the circumstances of the crash and would appeal to anyone with any information to contact us straight away.”
Anyone with any information should contact Surrey Police by sending a message via its social media channels, quoting incident reference number PR/P21207382.
