St Kilda's Charlie Banfield Involved in Car Accident with Friend

Charlie Banfield, a player for St Kilda in the AFL, was involved in an accident where he accidentally ran over a close friend with a car on a private property in Yallingup, Western Australia, earlier this month.

The incident occurred during a party, and the injured friend was hospitalized with broken bones. Despite the injuries, emergency services were not called to the scene. St Kilda confirmed the accident and expressed support for both Banfield and the injured individual, who is expected to recover fully.

Banfield, who made his AFL debut this year, is known to be close friends with the victim, and it has been indicated that no legal action will be pursued as the incident is being treated as an accident. WA Police reported no records of the incident, and St John Ambulance confirmed they did not attend the area that night.
