Leon Bailey’s partner provides update after being involved in horror car crash

Leon Bailey’s partner has revealed that she was involved in a frightening car crash on Tuesday (9 June).

The Aston Villa striker’s girlfriend, Stephanie Hope, posted an update on her Instagram story and said that she fortunately only suffered ‘a few bruises’ while her son was unharmed and ‘didn’t suffer any’ bruises.

The Jamaica Star is reporting that Hope, Bailey’s mother, his son, and friend Kevaughn Atkinson were all involved in the crash, which took place on a highway while the family were heading to Ocho Rios in the Caribbean nation.

Posting on Instagram, Stephanie wrote: “Honestly not posting for sympathy but to say that God is real.

“He spared our lives yesterday, and I am forever grateful. I will never take it for granted. I will continue to sing about how awesome of a God he is.

“We came out with a few bruises and my son came out with none. Thank God we are alive. This is our testimony. Be safe.”

Villa striker Bailey is currently away on international duty with Jamaica, and featured for his country as a substitute in their 3-1 win over Suriname on Wednesday (8 June).
