Prem ace ‘car riddle’
Villa star on the street ‘after prang’
■
PREMIER League footballer Jack Grealish was pictured looking dishevelled in the street after a Range Rover hit two parked cars.
Images said to have been taken yesterday morning showed the Aston Villa star, 24, in white slippers and a blue Givenchy hoodie.
Other snaps on social media showed the damaged white car abandoned on double yellow lines on the same street.
West Midlands Police said the driver left the scene “on foot” and officers were still trying to track him down.
It is not known if the Range Rover belongs to Grealish, or who was driving. Mystery surrounds why he was in the Dickens Heath area of Solihull, West Mids. Grealish is believed to live 10 miles away in Barnt
Green, Worcs. Hours earlier he posted a video on Twitter urging his followers to stay indoors during the coronavirus outbreak.
He said: “To help save lives you must stay at home. Only leave your house to buy food, to buy medicine or to exercise, and remember to stay at least two metres apart. This is urgent, protect the NHS. Stay at home, save lives.”
A Villa source said last night club bosses were trying to contact the star.
West Midlands Police said: “We were called just before 10am to reports that a Range Rover had crashed into two parked cars in the street.
“The driver left his details with a member of the public at the scene before leaving on foot. He will be spoken to by police in due course. Minor damage was caused to the parked vehicles.”
