“It is a miracle that no one was injured,” Boden’s coach Johan Nyström commented on the incident.
“Ten seconds before the incident happened, players had been exactly in the same place where the car came in. It’s just pure luck, almost a miracle that no one happened to be there at the moment of the crash and that no one was hurt.”
The driver reportedly received minor injuries and was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
