Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was involved in a traffic
collision which left a 10-year-old boy with a suspected broken leg
on Monday.
The car was travelling along Grantham Road in Birkdale, Merseyside
when the incident happened at 3.15pm.
The spokesman for the midfielder said: "Steven was driving very
slowly through an area of Birkdale when a young boy ran out and hit
the side of his car. Steven comforted the boy until the paramedics
arrived.
"There were apparently several eye-witnesses who saw the
accident.
"Steven later attended a police station where he produced his
driving documents as a matter of routine and made a statement about
the accident.
"The Liverpool captain was distressed over the accident and has
been in contact with the boy's family to check his progress and
plans to visit him in the next couple of days."
