What We Did Find: Related Incidents Involving Car Crashes & Football

 

Courtney Meppen‑Walter (Manchester City youth)

In September 2012, Manchester City youth player Courtney Meppen‑Walter was involved in a fatal car crash in central Manchester, killing a brother and sister. He was subsequently convicted of causing death by careless driving, jailed for 16 months, and banned from driving for three years. However, the victims were not footballers, and no storm or midnight incident was involved.

 

Jlloyd Samuel (Aston Villa, Bolton Wanderers, former City-affiliate)

Jlloyd Samuel tragically died in a car crash in May 2018, after his vehicle collided with a van. The crash occurred in daytime and under clear conditions. Samuel was not an active Manchester City first-team player, and there was no storm or prolonged medical emergency.
