Footballer Frank Lampard has given a schoolboy £200 after accidentally running over his bike.
The Chelsea and England midfielder, who is currently dating TV presenter Christine Bleakley, hit the 14-year-old’s BMX while reversing his Range Rover, reports The Mirror. The boy, who was not on his bike at the time, was unhurt.
Lampard’s agent said in a statement: “All sorts of things were going through Frank’s mind. He saw the bike in his mirror and was sure he’d run the boy over. Frank checked the lad was OK and asked how much the bike cost. The boy said it was worth £100, so Frank gave him £200 in cash. It was the least he could do. If anything, Frank was more upset than the boy.”
