Man dies after wheelchair hits car driven by keeper

A man was killed when Josep Martinez, the goalkeeper for Inter Milan, collided with his electric wheelchair with a car.

Police in the province of Como reported that the wheelchair appeared to have veered into the vehicle’s path.

Authorities are looking into the circumstances surrounding the accident going forward.

Italian police reported to Reuters that Inter goalkeeper Josep Martinez struck a man who was using an electric wheelchair while cycling along a road in the province of Como.

Before the ambulance arrived, Martinez stopped his car to assist the victim, who had already died.

A press conference was postponed for Tuesday to discuss Wednesday’s Serie A encounter with Fiorentina.

The incident has received no comment from the club.

Since joining Inter from Genoa in 2024, Martinez has been their second-choice goalkeeper.
