The bus of hockey club HC Dynamo Moscow got into an accident on Tuesday night on the highway M-1 Moscow-Minsk, Smolensk region. The bus was carrying the players and the staff of the capital club to the city of Pinsk, Belarus, where the team are holding training sessions.

“Our bus was moving quietly along the road without breaking any rules of the road” Tereshchenko told Izvestia immediately after the incident.

“And then, all of a sudden, we crashed into the vehicle ahead. The bus overturned and fell into a ditch. It is difficult to understand what really happened, what led to the accident, but the most important thing is that none of the people on the bus were injured. No staff nor the players have received any injuries.” Tereshchenko added.

Some time after the accident, HC Dynamo drove another bus to Pinsk.
