Two US volleyball players, who competed in the Paris Olympics, suffered a car accident in the French capital. Micha Hancock and Jordan Larson were aboard an app car, which crashed into a pole. Through social media, Hancock posted a photo showing the injuries she suffered. The athlete also published a text, giving more details of the accident.
“Okay, guys, here I am. Car accident after the conclusion of Paris 2024. My Uber driver crashed into a pole when we were on our way to the hotel after a night of team celebration. I’m glad Larson was there. She took care of me. Things happen fast, folks. Take care of yourselves and your family. Wear a seat belt. I definitely leave this happy to be alive. I suffered some injuries, but I will recover from them in months. My doctors are taking care of me,” wrote Micha Hancock.
Jordan Larson also made a point of going to the networks to reassure fans. Through a video, the player said she was fine, as well as everyone else involved in the accident. The athlete was left with a bruise next to her right eye, a lighter injury than her teammate, who had considerable swelling, also in the eye, due to the crash.
Silver at the Olympics
Hancock and Larson helped the U.S. team win the silver medal at the Paris Games. After eliminating Brazil in the semifinals, the Americans were defeated in the final by Italy, by 3 sets to 0, with partials of 25/18, 25/20 and 25/17.
