Former Zambia star Rainford Kalaba was involved in a disastrous car crash two weeks ago in his home nation.

The accident is believed to have occurred as a result of improper overtaking, and while the individual who was driving the Mercedes-Benz died as a result of the collision with the truck, the former winger narrowly left the incident with his life.

The 37-year-old suffered internal injuries that left him in a prolonged coma, but in recent days the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations winner made massive strides in his recovery, including waking up from his coma as well as having his first meal.
