MORELOS MAYHEM

CCTV footage captured the moment Alfredo Morelos collided with a motorcyclist before he was arrested on suspicion of drink driving in Colombia.

The former Rangers striker was involved in the crash as he travelled to training on Wednesday.

The motorcyclist was rushed to San Vicente Fundación hospital in Medellin ND'S for treatment after suffering broken limbs and abdominal trauma.

In the footage, taken by a traffic camera, Morelos's 4x4 Chevrolet can be seen appearing to drift into the opposite lane on the road in Medellin, where his current club Atletico Nacional are based.

As his vehicle travels back into the correct lane, the motorcyclist appears in shot travelling the opposite way.

The biker seems to have been trying to overtake a lorry before crashing head-on with the Chevrolet.

He is seen being thrown up on the bonnet of the car. In a second clip, taken from another angle, the motorcyclist is shown being thrown into the air then crashing on to the road before passers-by race to his aid.

Morelos's vehicle travels several yards before he can be seen coming to a stop at the side of the road.

Pictures released on Thursday showed the bike wedged under the front end of Morelos's vehicle, which was damaged at the driver's side by the impact.
