Inter Milan goalkeeper Martinez accidentally runs over and kills elderly man,
Inter Milan's second-choice goalkeeper Josep Martinez is believed to have killed an 81-year-old man in a car accident on Tuesday morning, according to reports in Italy.
The Spaniard was reportedly driving to training shortly before 10am when he was involved in the accident in Fenegro, not far from Inter's training ground near the commune of Appiano Gentile.
The man died at the scene despite the immediate efforts of emergency services, with an ambulance, a helicopter, and the Italian police - the Carabinieri - dispatched to the scene.
The Carabinieri are investigating the incident, with early reports suggesting that the elderly man may have suffered a medical emergency that had caused his motorised wheelchair to veer into the path of Martinez.
Police will continue to investigate the accident, and Martinez is thought to be cooperating with the authorities.
The 27-year-old is said to be deeply shaken by the incident, but otherwise unharmed.
