Alfredo Morelos’ boss, ex Celtic man Efrain Juarez, refused to condemn the former Rangers striker over his alleged drink driving shame - as it emerged the Colombian had the equivalent of four beers in his system when he collided with a motorcyclist.
The 28-year-old is on loan at Atletico Nacional in his homeland and has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons after he was arrested at 9am on Wednesday morning after his Chevrolet smashed into an oncoming motorbike having reportedly crossed lanes on the motorway to overtake a truck.
Shocking photos of the mangled bike wedged under the ex Ibrox striker’s vehicle appeared on Thursday in South American media with Morelos at the roadside.
The victim was named as Sebastian Guillermo Davila and he continues to be monitored in hospital after an emergency operation.
