Two members of the German World Cup squad have been involved in a car accident at a driving event which left two others injured in northern Italy.<\/p>\n

Benedikt Hoewedes and Julian Draxler were passengers in separate cars in the Mercedes event on a closed circuit.<\/p>\n

One of the cars, with professional touring car driver Pascal Wehrlein at the wheel, struck two men near the team hotel, leaving one seriously hurt.<\/p>\n

The footballers were not injured in the accident, and have resumed training.<\/p>\n

The other car was being driven by Mercedes Formula One driver, Nico Rosberg.<\/p>\n

Hoewedes and Draxler play for German Bundesliga side Schalke 04 and have been selected to represent their country in next month’s World Cup in Brazil.<\/p>\n

Mercedes-Benz Motorsport said in a statement: “We will work in full cooperation with the authorities in determining the exact circumstances of the accident.”<\/p>\n

The seriously injured man was a 63-year-old German tourist, local media said.<\/p>\n

The other man is believed to be a circuit marshal. Both men were taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

Rosberg, currently in first place in the driver’s championship, expressed shock at the accident.<\/p>\n

“My thoughts are with the two people who were injured and I wish them a fast recovery” he said on twitter.<\/p>\n

The German football team will continue to train in the South Tyrol area of Italy until 1 June.<\/p>\n
