Toulon back All Blacks star Julian Savea over car crash

Toulon back All Blacks star Julian Savea over car crash, confirming no alcohol involved

The former All Blacks wing flipped his car while driving after Toulon beat Perpignan in a French Top 14 match last Sunday (NZT).

Savea's wife Fatima brought the accident to the world's attention by tweeting details of it and her relief he had not been injured. She also emphasised that Savea was simply tired and hadn't had any alcohol, saying he had been sober for eight months.

Toulon tweeted on Tuesday to back up those claims, confirming that Savea's blood alcohol test following the accident was negative.
