AC Milan striker on loan at Montpellier, France, M’Baye Niang, was, on Monday, February 24, 2014, sentenced to a suspended 18-month jail sentence after a hit and run car accident.
The striker, who hit several cars before crashing his Ferrari into a tree earlier this month, was charged with causing unintentional injuries, endangering people’s lives, a hit and run and driving without a licence.
Report says the prosecutor had asked for 170 hours of community work but the court handed him the suspended sentence.
After being asked why he didn’t stop after hitting the vehicles, the player told a Montpellier Court on Monday, ‘I Panicked’.
Francois Lafont, lawyer for the plaintiffs, said: ‘It was pure craziness. It’s not just an accident, this is assault. Ten people could have been killed.
