Eugene Quaynor, a Ghanaian football player stationed in the US, has passed away.
On Wednesday, September 28, 2022, the 23-year-old was engaged in a car accident in South Tulsa, United States.
Police said that the student-athlete who was a member of the Flint City Bucks had stopped at a stop sign when a drunk driver’s SUV slammed the rear of his vehicle.
Eugene’s car was propelled by the collision through the junction and into a wall, where it caught fire.
All of the witnesses’ attempts to drag the footballer to safety, according to the police, were ineffective.
Eugene was the embodiment of the goal we aim for, according to a statement from the Oral Roberts University athletics department eulogizing the deceased.
“He was a captain and had a spirit-empowered heart ready to impact the world for Jesus. His infectious smile will be missed, but we will never forget #27,” the tweet stated.
Mr Quaynor was the captain of Oral Roberts University’s men’s football team.
He also majored in sports management at the institution.
A local league in the community, The Summit, has also postponed Saturday’s fixtures “due to the devastating loss of @ORUMSoccer student-athlete Eugene Quaynor.”
