Jailed: Drink-driver sentenced after horror crash leads to leg amputation for ex-Bournemouth player

Anna Bogusiewicz, 45, has been handed a 28-month prison sentence following a catastrophic motorway collision that resulted in former AFC Bournemouth striker Jordan Chiedozie losing his leg. Bogusiewicz pleaded guilty at Southampton Crown Court to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving while over the alcohol limit. In addition to her jail term, she has been issued a three-year driving ban, according to the BBC.

The life-altering incident occurred on February 1 on the M27 eastbound. Chiedozie, the 31-year-old son of former Tottenham Hotspur winger John Chiedozie, had pulled his vehicle onto the hard shoulder between junctions two and three to inspect a flat tyre. He was returning from a match with his current club, Bashley FC, accompanied by physiotherapist Reighan Taylor, when Bogusiewicz's vehicle struck him.

The impact left the footballer with multiple fractures and severe physical trauma. Doctors were forced to place Chiedozie into an induced coma before ultimately performing a leg amputation. In a moving victim impact statement, Chiedozie noted that "one day changed everything" and expressed profound gratitude to the medical teams, stating he owed them everything.

Despite the severity of his injuries, the former Cambridge United and National League forward has maintained a remarkably resilient outlook. Sharing his recovery process on social media, Chiedozie emphasized the importance of looking forward rather than dwelling on the past. He recently revealed he is adjusting to his prosthetic limb and "getting used to getting up on my feet."

Jordan Chiedozie enjoyed a varied career, rising through the ranks at Bournemouth during their time in League One and the Championship before stints in League Two and the non-league tiers. His father, John, was a prominent Nigeria international who made a high-profile £375,000 move to Spurs in 1984 after successful spells at Leyton Orient and Notts County.
