Ciro Immobile Taken To Hospital After Car Crash Involving Land Rover SUV And Tram

Lazio striker Ciro Immobile was taken to hospital on Sunday after a tram collided with his Land Rover SUV in Rome.

Immobile's two daughters were also said to be in the SUV, which was wrecked after the tram reportedly ran through a red light.

Several witnesses backed up Immobile's claim that the tram had failed to stop at a red light before the collision.

Lazio said in a statement: "Earlier today, following a car accident, footballer Ciro Immobile suffered a spinal distortion injury and a compound fracture of the right XI rib.

"The condition is currently good. The footballer remains under observation in the emergency medicine department of the Agostino Gemelli IRCCS University Polyclinic in Rome."

The crash came 24 hours after Immobile had scored for Lazio in a 3-0 win at Spezia in Serie A.

Immobile has netted 12 goals in 30 matches in all competitions this season.
