Mr Redknapp, also 69, had been dropping his wife off in Westbourne, which is four miles away from the couple's £5m home in Sandbanks and reportedly didn't realise that his wife was stuck and drove away. | |
Speaking to the BBC, the former Bournemouth, West Ham and Portsmouth boss said: "It was just a freak accident you know. | |
"Sandra went across the road and unfortunately she had gone behind the car to cross over the road and as I went to drive off I drove over her ankle. | |
"Its lucky, if the full weight of the car had gone over the ankle god knows what would have happened to her. We're ok. | |
"She had an operation on her ankle that went well." | |
South Western Ambulance Service confirmed crews were called to Poole Road, in the Westbourne area, at 11:49 BST. | |
