Car accident

[edit]

On March 20, 2010, after practice, Suárez left with teammate Wilber Zabala in his vehicle. Just a couple of miles from Blooming's training ground, they were hit by a mid-size truck on the passenger side where Suárez was sitting. An ambulance was immediately called by witnesses at the scene, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital where they discovered he had fractured twelve ribs as a result of the collision. He spent five days in the intensive care unit before he regained his consciousness and was able to speak again.[2][3] He spent 10 months away from the field. Finally, in January 2011 he returned to professional football when he signed for San José. That same year he retired from the sport.
