Wales team bus involved in accident on way to training at Women's Euro 2025
Wales players were recovering from shock at their hotel on Tuesday after their team bus was involved in a road traffic accident en route to a planned training session in St Gallen. An ambulance was called to the scene to attend to the driver of the other vehicle but the Welsh Football Association said the passengers and drivers in both vehicles were unharmed. A shaken Wales head coach, Rhian Wilkinson, had described her players and staff as 'OK'. Wilkinson, the Wales captain, Angharad James, and the team's media manager, Owain Harries, did not travel on the bus. That trio were driven to St Gallen in a car to front a press conference at the stadium before Wednesday's Group D match against France. The team were not far from their hotel about 30 minutes' drive from St Gallen when the collision occurred. 'I have been assured everyone on the bus is OK,' said a clearly shocked Wales coach, who cancelled the planned training session at the stadium. She said: 'Football is secondary now; we're shaken. Our priority now is to get everyone together and away from the scene.'
