A 19-year-old football player who belongs to Chacarita Juniors in Argentina is in critical condition after being involved in a car accident on Sunday night.

The young player was riding his motorcycle without a helmet and was hit by a stolen white Chevrolet Onix car. He is currently in an induced coma at Ramón Carrillo Hospital.

"He is in critical condition. He has a kneecap fracture and the main impact was to his head and neck. Since he was admitted to the hospital, we were informed that he has brain inflammation and needs surgery, but we have to wait for 72 hours," said a relative of the football player.

A security camera recorded the exact moment of the terrible accident. The driver, identified as Alan Emanuel Pérez, who had been released, is now under arrest at the 11th Police Station in Remedios de Escalada, Bonaerense.
