Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana ran over EastEnders star Dean Gaffney in his Lamborghini in ‘nasty accident’ that left actor with broken collarbone

The 23-year-old was driving his Lamborghini when he ran over the actor, according to a report from The Sun. Gaffney was "catapulted" into the air, the report says, and had to be treated at hospital while the France international, who was driving at the end of a night out, was given a breathalyser test, which he passed.

The incident occurred in December 2022 and Gaffney decided not to speak out about it as he felt there was no blame on Fofana's part. At the time, Fofana was in the early days of his Chelsea career, having joined the club from Leicester in August 2022.

Fofana has not featured for Chelsea this season as the centre-back has been ruled out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. He has managed only 20 appearances for the London team in all competitions since his move to Stamford Bridge.

The ex-Saint-Etienne star will continue his recovery and hope to be back in action before long. Meanwhile, Chelsea are preparing for their upcoming Carabao Cup match against Middlesbrough, having lost the first-leg 1-0 to the Championship side.
