Footie ace Andy Carroll wrecks £130k Mercedes in horrifying head-on crash with Ford Fiesta
FORMER England footballer Andy Carroll has been involved in a horrifying head-on crash.
His £130,000 Mercedes GLS SUV collided with a Ford Fiesta — shunting it 30 yards up the road.
Witnesses living on the residential street told how the ex-Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham striker looked “dazed and in utter shock” as he emerged from his monster motor.
The ponytailed player, 33, then swiftly went to check on the condition of the three people in the red Fiesta.
A front wheel of Carroll’s black Merc came off. Side panels and part of the bumper were also smashed.
Witnesses said Carroll, 33, who had been at the wheel, was breathalysed along with the woman driver of the Fiesta. No arrests were made.

“The Fiesta and Mercedes collided head-on and another vehicle was hit in the carnage. It was a freak accident.”
John Cooper, who lives nearby said: “I heard the most awful bang.
“I saw Andy Carroll emerge from his vehicle. He was wandering around in a daze.
