Liverpool legend ‘John Arne Riise’ and daughter hospitalised after car crash

Liverpool’s legend John Arne Riise and his daughter were reportedly hospitalised after a car crash in his homeland of Norway.

According to the report, the incident occurred on Tuesday night, with Riise forced to swerve whilst his 19-year-old daughter Ariana was also in the vehicle.

Fortunately the collision doesn’t appear to have been too serious, with both being released from hospital this morning.

Here’s what the retired full-back’s agent told Norwegian outlet Dagbladet, as quoted by vthe Mirror:

“He drove her home to Alesund, and just before they arrived, something on the road caused John Arne Riise to quickly turn left, and drive into the road rails.”

“Both are well under the circumstances, they will remain in the hospital until this morning.”

Riise became a fan favourite during his seven years with Liverpool, as per the club’s official website the Norwegian made 348 appearances for the Reds – scoring 38 goals.

The former full-back was well-known for his thunderous strikes from the left flank. We’re delighted to hear that the ace and his daughter have been released from hospital.
