Ebiya told Omreop West about the incident, noting that the car skidded after attempting to brake.

“I was driving on a section that is usually quiet at this time. Suddenly, I saw the cars ahead braking sharply.”

“I tried to brake, but I lost control of the car.”

Ebiya also shared his words spoken during his police interrogation.

“I told them [the police] what happened, and then I went home.”

According to local media, the drivers of the two vehicles involved were also detained for testing.

Police also plan to check whether alcohol may have affected the circumstances of the accident.

Ebiya's Career

Ebiya joined Southampton on loan in January 2015 and played 17 matches for the club, scoring twice.

The team decided not to buy out his contract, and he returned to Werder Bremen.

The player has also played for clubs such as Juventus, Feyenoord, FC Twente, and ADO Den Haag. The Netherlands national team called him up 30 times, and he scored in matches against Scotland and Hungary.

In 2022, Ebiya announced his retirement from football due to an ankle injury.
