FORMER Premier League ace Eljero Elia cheated death after being involved in a four-car crash in the Netherlands.
The ex-Southampton loanee’s £270k Lamborghini Urus reportedly collided with three other cars on the main carriageway of the A4 motorway close to Leiden.
The police have stated that no one was left with a serious injury, but two drivers was taken to the station.
Local media claim that Elia was taken away in a police van with another man, but for an unknown reason.
The horror crash is claimed to have happened at 9.45pm on Saturday night.
Elia has spoken to Omreop West about the incident and claimed that his car skidded after trying to stop.
He said: “I was driving in a stretch that’s normally quiet around that time.
“Suddenly, I saw the traffic in front of me brake and come to a standstill.
“I tried to brake, but I skidded.”
Elia also revealed that he was questioned by police after the crash.
He added: “I told them [the police] what happened and then I went home.”
The drivers of two of the vehicles that collided were arrested and taken in for tests.
Reports claim that the cops want to see if “alcohol” could have been a factor in the collision.
