Alfredo Morelos has reportedly been involved in a drink driving incident in Colombia that has hospitalised a motorcyclist.
According to reports from local Colombia media, the former Rangers forward is said to have hit the motorcyclist near José María Córdova airport, in Rionegro, Antioquia.
While Morelos himself is said to have avoided injury in the collision, it's said the motorcyclist suffered broken limbs and abdominal trauma before being taken to the Vicente Fundación hospital for treatment.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
