A motorist who was shunted into the vehicle in front during a pile-up got a shock when they realised it was being driven by Chelsea legend David Luiz, with team colleague Deyverson in the passenger seat.
The pair were involved in the three-vehicle smash in Fortaleza, a city in the northeast of Brazil, near the training centre of their club on May 22.
The accident occurred when a small lorry rear-ended a car, which was then pushed into the vehicle carrying the footballers.
