Manchester City’s new signing Mario Balotelli has been involved in a car crash, the police confirmed on Saturday.

The 20-year-old Italian, who has recently joined Eastlands in a £25 million deal from Inter, was driving in his Audi A8 when it collided with a BMW in Manchester.

Balotelli was uninjured in the car crash which happened on Saturday morning, but was breathalysed under the standard practice.

The police were called to the scene in Chester Road, Hulme and spoke to the City striker as well as the driver of the BMW but have since revealed they will not be investigating further.

"At 9.45am today we were called to Chester Road in Hulme to reports of a two-car collision," a spokesperson for the Greater Manchester Police said.

"Officers attended and found a black BMW had been in collision with an Audi A8.

"Nobody was injured. Both cars were damaged and removed from the scene."
