Moroccan footballer Sofian Kiyine was rushed to hospital after a horrific car accident in which he crashed into the roof of a sports hall in Belgium.
Kiyine, who plays for Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the Belgian Pro League, appeared to lose control of his car at a roundabout in Liege.
The children were present in the sports center at the time of the accident, but the youngsters had withdrawn to the changing rooms moments before and fortunately no one was injured.
Kiyine was in hospital after the accident on Thursday night, but her condition is not believed to be life-threatening.

Moroccan footballer Sofian Kiyine was rushed to hospital after a horrific car accident in which he crashed into the roof of a sports hall in Belgium.
In a video, Kiyine appeared to lose control of her car and flew into a sports hall at high speed.
No one else was injured in the incident, with a group of children having left the hall moments before.
The car then takes off around the roundabout and is sent flying into the air before crashing into the sports center at breakneck speed, leaving a large hole in the building.
Belgian authorities are reportedly investigating the incident.
A spokesman for OH Leuven, owned by Leicester owners King Power, said: “The club have learned that Sofian Kiyine was involved in a serious car accident near Liege last night.
‘Kiyine was taken to the nearest hospital emergency department where further examinations are underway.
‘He is not in a life-threatening condition. Fortunately, no other vehicle or person was involved in the accident.
The club is waiting for more clarity on the exact circumstances of how the accident occurred before responding further.
“We wish Sofian a speedy recovery.”
It’s unclear how fast Kiyine was traveling at the time of the accident, but the speed limit on the highway she was on is 55 mph.
The Louis Melin Sports Center houses futsal, basketball and gymnastics, but is likely to be unusable for a significant period after the damage from the accident.
