The New York Mets received some terrifying news ahead of MLB Spring Training. Star first baseman Pete Alonso revealed he was reportedly in a dangerous car accident on Sunday, alleging that he was “close to death” after another car “ran a red light” and “T-boned” him, via Stephanie Apstein.

Fortunately, Alonso revealed he's okay after the scary incident, and even thanked Ford for “having great engineering.” The star slugger revealed he had to kick through his windshield in order to escape the vehicle after the crash. Additionally, Alonso told reporters that his car flipped as many as three times and suggested he feels “fortunate to be alive,” per Anthony DiComo.

Remarkably, despite his near-death experience, Alonso is expecting to take the field tomorrow for Mets' Spring Training. Just a couple of days after getting into a dangerous car wreck, the 27-year-old says he's “well now” and plans to get back to work on Tuesday.

Speaking to the media, Alonso could barely put into words how grateful he was to have escaped the accident unscathed, and offered is gratitude to his wife, who acted as a hero at the time of the accident.

Alonso revealed the crash occurred in Tampa Bay, where the Mets hold Spring Training. He and his wife, Haley, were driving in two separate cars at the time of the incident. Alonso said both he and his wife were okay, as were the people who caused the accident.

Mets fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief knowing their star first baseman is okay, in what could have been a harrowing situation for all parties involved.
