Car Accident

On March 20, 2010 after practice, Suárez left with teammate Wilber Zabala on his vehicle. Just a couple of miles from Blooming's training ground, they were shockingly 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 factured twelve ribs as 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.
