FORMER Liverpool full-back John Arne Riise and his 19-year-old daughter Ariana were hospitalised after a car crash in Norway.
Both are understood to have escaped serious injury, having been taken in for checks as a precautionary measure.
Police found the car lying on the side of the road at around 2am.
Riise, 39, was understood to be driving his daughter home to Alesund from Tonsberg at the time of the crash.
The accident occurred in Lerstad, around five miles east of central Alesund.
Both Riise and his daughter were understood to be shaken by the incident, but in good physical condition.
And the pair have since been released from hospital.
Despite Riise and daughter Ariana not suffering major injuries, their car is believed to have been written off in the crash.
The police are investigating the incident, but nothing criminal is believed to have occurred.
Riise is currently based in Norway with wife Louise Angelica, having finished his playing career in 2017.
