NY Mets Star Pete Alonso is thanking his lucky stars today.
The New York Mets first baseman was involved in a horrific car accident this weekend.
After arriving at camp on Monday, Alonso stated that he was “lucky to be alive.”
Near-death Experience
As Alonso was headed to spring training camp, he stated that a car ran a redlight and t-boned his car.
Alonso’s vehicle flipped several times after the contact.
Alonso described the accident, “[Sunday] was a real close experience to death.
“My car flipped over probably about three times … and I am really thankful to be alive, thankful that I’m healthy.”
His wife was in the car behind him and called first responders to the scene.
He continued, “Everyone in my family is OK, and my wife was an absolute trooper, she really helped and you never know what can happen.
“Anything can happen at any given moment, anything can be derailed at any single time.
“One minute I was coming here to spring training, coming here to work and the next thing I know I am kicking my windshield in, trying to get out of a flipped over car.
“Thankful enough nothing is wrong, and also, thank you Ford for having great engineering.”
Alonso has now joined the team at spring training and is expected to be a full participant.
