Overview
- Daniel Maldini was involved in a multi-vehicle road collision in Milan in the early hours after scoring Cagliari's winning penalty the previous evening and was taken to hospital for checks.
- Emergency services dispatched three ambulances and a medical car, six people were involved, one was treated at the scene, and five people including Maldini were taken to Fatebenefratelli Hospital with only minor injuries.
- Maldini underwent a brief emergency-room check at Fatebenefratelli and his lawyer, Danilo Buongiorno, said he was released and is in good health.
- Local investigators are reconstructing the sequence of events and some early, unconfirmed press reconstructions suggest Maldini's car may have failed to yield, but officials have not confirmed a cause.
- The crash drew major media attention because Maldini is a high-profile, third-generation player and club officials are expected to welcome him back to training while any legal or insurance consequences await the investigation's findings.
