Jaromir Jagr lucky to be alive after his car was struck by a tram in Prague
The legendary Jaromir Jagr is lucky to be alive after his car was hit by a tram in Czechia. Thankfully, despite the extensive damage to the vehicle, Jagr was able to escape without any significant injuries.
Jagr took to social media on Wednesday morning to reveal the details of the accident, admitting that he was at fault via his personal Instagram account. He also shared a photo of the vehicle after being struck by the tram.
"Dear fans, but also everyone else. I would just like to briefly tell you what happened today when I was involved in a traffic accident. It was my fault. I was trying to cross from one direction to the other on Plzeňská Street. I was checking the other side and at the right moment I drove into it. But there was a lot of traffic and I didn't have time to react to a tram that was going at high speed in the same direction as me. I spotted it half a metre in front of me, at the last moment. I thought that was the end of me. I have always believed that a higher power has a protective hand over me, and today I was convinced of that again. Thank God! And I was also surprised and actually saved by my KIA, which despite how scary it looked, I climbed out of unharmed. But most importantly, the passengers on the tram were unharmed. I would like to end this sad event with this. And thank you all for your understanding and also for helping those who intervened at the scene." - Jaromir Jagr, via Instagram
Jagr, at 50 years young had just recently announced that he intends to return to Kladno for another season. Thankfully, he walked away from this wreck in a healthy enough state to be able to keep those plans intact.
