Belgian Wolfsburg midfielder Junior Malanda killed in car crash: See PHOTOS from his Tribute walk today

Wolfsburg midfielder and Belgium youth international Junior Malanda was killed in a car crash on his way to meet teammates for a training camp on Saturday.

"We are all deeply shocked and can hardly put our disbelief into words," Wolfsburg general manager Klaus Allofs said. "He was the good spirit in our team and a fun-loving person. On top of that, Junior was an excellent footballer who was only at the beginning of his development. We still can't believe that he's no longer with us."
Malanda was a passenger in a Volkswagen Touareg that was traveling toward Hannover when it went off the motorway "for as yet unknown reasons" near Bielefeld in western Germany, police said in a statement.
"The car broke through the right guardrail, hit a tree, and flipped over several times in the embankment. The car came to a stop on its roof. One person was thrown out of the vehicle by the accident and died at the scene," the police said. "This was the 20-year-old Belgian Bundesliga player of VFL Wolfsburg, Bernhard Geoffrey Malanda Adje."
The driver and another passenger, both also 20-year-old Belgians, were seriously injured and taken to nearby hospitals. The motorway was blocked for about two hours.
"The car was totally destroyed in the accident. At the time, there was heavy rain and gale-force winds," the police statement said.
