The cause of the accident is still unknown, but initial findings suggest the car was not moving at high speed. The driver’s identity has not yet been confirmed.”
Jezewski, who previously trained with Wisła Płock’s academy, has also represented Poland at the Under-17 level, featuring in two friendly matches against Albania last autumn. The football community is rallying around the young talent and his family during this difficult time.
