According to reports from ANSA, Maldini was involved in a collision on via Caracciolo in the city of Milan at around 5.15 local time (4.15 BST), which also affected two women aged 20 and 22 and three other men aged 19, 20 and 21.
Three ambulances and a support car were called to the scene. None of the six individuals involved were seriously injured. One was treated at the scene for their injuries and the other five, including Maldini, were taken to hospital for further checks.
