Collingwood stars Beau McCreery and Josh Carmichael in car crash on Monash Freeway before AFL final

Magpies stars Beau McCreery and Josh Carmichael have been involved in a car accident on their way to the airport to fly out for their do-or-die final against the Sydney Swans on Saturday.

The pair weren’t hurt in the collision on Friday morning but were left shaken by the incident on Melbourne‘s Monash Freeway.

‘Neither Beau nor Josh sustained any injuries and we will provide them with the support required,’ said Collingwood football boss Graham Wright. 

‘The welfare of Beau, Josh and the driver of the other vehicle reamins  the absolute priority.’

McCreery is due to start in the forwards against the Swans. It’s believed he and Carmichael will fly to Sydney today

Carmichael is a medi-sub for the preliminary final. The club has stated he and McCreery weren’t injured in the collision

The Magpies were scheduled for a 10am flight to Sydney and the duo will fly up today.

Two lanes were closed on the freeway as a result of the crash, which appeared to have left a black SUV with extensive damage.
