Leverkusen Probe Video Of Boniface Speeding While Using Phone

Bayer Leverkusen are investigating a now-deleted video reportedly appearing to show Striker Victor Boniface speeding and using his mobile phone while driving just weeks after being involved in a horror 120mph crash.

Boniface previously survived a horror crash with a lorry while driving in Germany which resulted in him rushed to hospital on October 20 with serious injuries that required medical attention.

He was a passenger in his luxury Mercedes vehicle at the time while on the way to the airport and was fortunate to only sustain hand injuries as his car was left completely wrecked.

The serious collision caused damages worth up to £167,000 with local police revealing the driver lost control of the Mercedes due to tiredness, skidded into a truck, and was overturned by the collision.

The 50-second clip shows two passengers in Boniface’s car while he drives down the road with his phone in hand and singing along to one of Swagbag’s songs.

He was reportedly driving his Mercedes-AMG car on the A4 and changes lanes while continuously scrolling through his phone and appearing to check Instagram multiple times.

A 120km/h speed limit sign can also be seen in the video, but Boniface’s speedometer appears to show him cruising at 141km/h with his phone in hand.

Reacting to the video, Leverkusen confirmed they are now investigating the matter that could result in Boniface being hit with a fine and points on his licence.

“We are looking at the matter and checking it. If the incident is confirmed, we will of course talk to Victor about it as soon as possible.

“He not only has a role model function – it is fundamentally about not endangering himself or other people in road traffic.”
