Just hours after helping Wrexham secure a 1-0 win over Bolton in the Vertu Trophy, midfielder Elliot Lee found himself in an entirely different situation.

The club has confirmed that Lee was involved in a car accident while heading home from the match on Tuesday night.

Club Statement and Emergency Response

In an official statement, Wrexham AFC revealed that Lee’s vehicle was involved in a collision with another car.

Both drivers were taken to the hospital, though Lee fortunately did not sustain any major injuries.

The club expressed gratitude to emergency responders for their swift action.

Meanwhile, the driver of the other vehicle remains under medical care.

A Key Figure in Wrexham’s Rise

Lee, who has been a crucial part of Wrexham’s success since joining in 2022, played 63 minutes of the match before being substituted.

The 30-year-old midfielder has played a vital role in Wrexham’s back-to-back promotions, helping the club climb from the National League to League One.

With 134 appearances and 38 goals to his name, he has been a standout player for the team, which has gained global attention under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Looking Ahead

For now, Wrexham has stated that no further comments will be made regarding the incident.

Fans will undoubtedly be relieved that Lee is safe, but concerns remain for the other individual involved in the crash.

As Wrexham prepares for their next challenge on the pitch, the focus will also be on Lee’s well-being and recovery from what could have been a far more serious incident.
