I was just reading about this and felt like sharing it with you guys;

Charlie Davies really came out of nowhere, he moved to Sweeden to play and try and make some money and a name for himself in Europe, got in to the American National Team.

Automobile accident

On October 13, 2009, Davies, who was in Washington, D.C. for a World Cup Qualifier game between Costa Rica and the United States, was a passenger in an SUV that went out of control on the George Washington Parkway and struck a metal railing at about 3:15 a.m., tearing the vehicle in half. The accident shut down the George Washington Parkway until 8:15 a.m. that morning. The accident killed a 22-year old woman who was in the car with Davies, while Davies himself suffered a lacerated bladder, fractured right tibia and femur, a fractured elbow, and facial injuries.In an interview with ESPN's Jeremy Schaap on December 4, Davies said that he expects to be running by March and will be fit to play at the World Cup. On January 25, 2010, ESPNsoccernet reported Davies is jogging and hopes to return to Sochaux by April. Davies returned to France to complete his rehabilitation with his club, Sochaux, on February 17, 2010, with plans to commence full team training within a month.

I was reading about the accident and his injuries. He was so badly injured the doctors were shocked he pulled through, and now he's almost back to playing football again.

Jusst found it interesting.

Would be amazing if he could make the World Cup.
 
Yeah, it's really impressive to be honest.

This is a guy who was royally ****ed up and is now getting back in to football.

Anyway, just felt like sharing this with someone as I enjoyed reading about it.
