he car is believed to have hit a patch of standing water before colliding with the central reservation.
He was returning to his home in north east London from the Crucible Theatre when the accident happened around 1.30am.
The incident is said to have taken place on the M1 near Leicester in “poor” weather conditions. Speed “was not a factor” as both O’Sullivan and his boy emerged “shaken,” but without serious injury.
Lewis and Lines confirm Ronnie Jr. was in the passenger seat of his father’s two-seater sports car after the Crucible final which saw O’Sullivan lose 18-14 to Mark Selby.
O’Sullivan appeared upbeat after the contest, saying he had “never been in such a good place,” reported by Yahoo! Eurosport. The Rocket confirmed he harboured “no complaints” before positively stating he accepts “the losses as well as the wins.”
Selby became the first man to beat O’Sullivan in a World Championship final, a result made all the more remarkable considering he was 10-5 behind after 15 frames. He then won 10 of the next 12, only for O’Sullivan to reduce the gap to 15-14. Selby confirmed victory with a trio of consecutive frames to land his first ever world title.
