Newcastle striker Loic Remy has found his touch in front of goal in recent weeks, but he was off-target close to the club's St James' Park stadium on Saturday night.

According to a report in The Sun, the French striker pulled out on a taxi in his Audi R8 and smashed into the vehicle.

The taxi driver, Andrew Watson, told the newspaper that Remy was injured in the accident.

"The car turned right in front of me and all I could do was slam my brakes on but we hit it. My passengers were thrown forward off the seat and were all hurt. I hit my head. He (Remy) was on his phone limping about. He’d hurt his left leg."

The Cab driver reckons the E7 is a write off.. 

For £20 it would get passed here in Manchester.
