Former West Ham sticker Michail Antonio said he came close to dying when he ‘hammered’ his Ferrari GTC4Lusso off the road in a horrific crash that he was lucky to walk away from.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, almost a year on since the accident, it’s been revealed that the Michail Antonio crash<\/a> has cost the forward over \u00a3100k – let’s explain why.<\/p>\n

Michail Antonio Car Crash Costs Former West Ham Hitman \u00a3100k<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When Michail Antonio crashed his car back on December 7th 2024, it almost cost him his life – but luckily the striker survived.<\/p>\n

However, fast-forward ten months and the former West Ham man is counting the cost of a different kind – the value of the super car that was involved in the accident.<\/p>\n

Antonio was driving a Ferrari GTC4Lusso, which will set you back up to \u00a3170,000 – meaning his insurance company were probably running for the hills when they heard news of the crash.<\/p>\n

But it’s since been revealed his car is now listed on Ebay. With added pictures of the damaged vehicle – for \u00a339,995.00.<\/p>\n

Based on the images shown – the car doesn’t even look repairable, with the near \u00a340k cost likely to be for anyone looking for spare parts.<\/p>\n

Michail Antonio Never Went Through His Insurance Company To Reclaim Losses\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The car is also listed as ‘unrecorded damage’<\/strong> on the popular auction site.<\/p>\n

This suggests Michail Antonio DIDN’T go through his insurance company to reclaim the cost of his car after the crash.<\/p>\n

This might seem odd – with a Ferrari GTC4Lusso worth between \u00a3120-\u00a3170k.<\/p>\n

Why Didn’t Michail Antonio Claim Via His Insurance?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It’s most likely that his original insurance on the car would have been a staggering amount.<\/p>\n

This is because most professional footballer’s insurance on their cars is huge.<\/p>\n

Mainly based on several factors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
    \n
  • <\/i> The cars they tend to drive are very expensive<\/li>\n
  • <\/i> They are young and inexperienced drivers<\/li>\n
  • <\/i> These footballers are worth a lot of money to their clubs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/div>\n

    It’s even been rumoured by some footballers that their insurance companies won’t allow them to have ANOTHER professional footballer in the car as passengers.<\/p>\n

    Purely because a crash involving two high-profile sports stars, who have mega-bucks contracts, would be too costly for the insurance companies to deal with.<\/p>\n

    Which is why all this has led to Michail Antonio not claiming on his damaged car – and losing around \u00a3100k on the accident.<\/p>\n

    Maybe a wealthy Hammers fan will purchase the damaged car on Ebay.<\/p>\n

    But if they don’t the Antonio car crash bill could still grow.<\/p>\n
