"Jordan was travelling back from Saturday’s Southern League match at Tavistock with club physio Reighan Taylor, when they pulled over onto the hard-shoulder of the M27 near Southampton, to investigate a flat tyre. "They were both outside the vehicle when it was hit heavily from behind by another car. The driver of that vehicle has been arrested for alleged “drink-driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.”.
"Jordan was taken to Southampton Hospital suffering multiple broken bones and other physical injuries. At this time he remains in a controlled coma. "Reighan was not hurt physically, but obviously has suffered severe trauma. She was able to use her skills to provide immediate, although in such circumstances, very basic, first aid to Jordan at the scene. "The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the club are with Jordan and his family, and of course with Reighan, at what is a difficult time for all connected with Bashley FC.
"In view of the seriousness of the situation the club has applied to the Southern League to have Tuesday’s scheduled home match against Thatcham Town, postponed. The Southern League have respectfully agreed with the request.". Chiedozie came through at Bournemouth and was with the club when they were in League One and the Championship. He did not play a first-team match for the Cherries and had various loans in non-league before a stint in League Two with Cambridge United.
