Hamilton Accies midfielder Ben Williamson was involved in a serious road crash on December 29th. He suffered a broken femur and fractures to his back and pelvis.
The mum of an ex-Rangers youth player has confirmed that her son suffered 'multiple injuries' in a horror road crash . Hamilton Accies midfielder Ben Williamson, 23, was involved in the crash which happened in the early hours of Sunday, December 29. Officers from Police Scotland were called to the incident on Queensferry Road in Dunfermline and the 26-year-old driver was arrested and Ben, who was a passenger in the vehicle, were rushed to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment.
Ben was in the squad the day before the incident as Accies beat Airdrie 3-2 at New Douglas Park to move into seventh place in the Scottish Championship. Speaking to the Record his mum, Avril, revealed how her son is expecting to undergo major surgery for a broken femur and has also fractured bones in his back and pelvis, but she hopes he will be back playing football eventually. She said: 'Ben has suffered a number of injuries and is going for surgery on his broken femur this afternoon. \'He also suffered another two fractures in his pelvis and at the bottom of his back but the surgeon has said these don't require any intervention and will heal on their own. \'We have been told that he is going to make a full recovery but it is going to take a bit of time.' Ben signed for Rangers in 2020 and after loan spells at Arbroath, Livingston, Raith Rovers, Dundee and Partick Thistle he left in January and signed for Hamilton Accies. He has gone on to play 32 games for the club since signing and played a key role in the club's promotion to the Scottish Championship. Pictures of the wreckage show the aftermath of the smash. The black car can be seen completely wrecked on a grassy verge, with the windscreen shattered and glass and debris strewn across the scene.
