Cristiano Ronaldo’s uncle, Jorge Viveiros, was rushed to hospital on Wednesday after being hit by a car while he was on his motorbike.
Viveiros, who is the brother of Ronaldo’s mother, was hit by the car in Saint Helier, the capital of the island of Jersey, as per Jornal da Madeira.
He was helped by firefighters at the scene of the accident and taken to hospital.
After spending some time under observation, Viveiros was released and allowed to go back home.
Ronaldo no doubt would have been worried by the news, as he shares a close bond with his family, particularly with his mother, Dolores Aveiro.
The 39-year-old is preparing for Al-Nassr’s upcoming Saudi Pro League clash against Al-Qadsia on Friday.
