Just a couple of miles from Blooming's training ground, they were shockingly hit by a mid-size truck on the passenger side where Suárez was sitting. An ambulance was immediately called by witnesses at the scene, and he was rushed to a near hospital where they discovered he had factured twelve ribs as result of the collision. He spent five days in the intensive care unit before he regained his consciousness and was able to speak again.[2][3] He spent 10 months away from the field.
