English-Born Nigerian Footballer Jordan Chiedozie in Coma After Motorway Accident
English-born Nigerian footballer Jordan Chiedozie is in a coma after being hit by a car on the motorway. The 30-year-old, who plays for non-league club Bashley FC, had just featured in a match against Tavistock when the accident occurred.
On the journey back from the away game, Chiedozie and Bashley’s physio, Reighan Taylor, encountered a flat tire on the M27. As Chiedozie stepped out to assess the situation, he was struck by another vehicle, suffering what the club has described as “life-changing, and potentially life-threatening” injuries.
Bashley FC released a statement expressing their devastation over the incident. The club confirmed that Chiedozie was taken to Southampton Hospital with multiple broken bones and other injuries. He remains in a controlled coma as medical teams work to stabilize his condition.
