Train Collides with Army Truck in France – Liepāja Metallurg Fans Ask if Those Were Our Opponents on the Way to an Away Game
A TGV train with 250 passengers collided with an army vehicle trailer in France. Liepāja hockey fans are already coming up with theories about away game sabotage.
An incident occurred in France that surpasses even the creativity level of Liepāja Metallurg fans when they come up with excuses for losses. A TGV train with 250 passengers collided with a truck trailer carrying army vehicles.
The accident happened in the Pas-de-Calais region, which is about as well-known as Liepāja Metallurg's strategy plan this season. The train was traveling from Dunkirk to Paris, but apparently someone forgot to tell the truck driver that railway crossings aren't meant for military parades.
Locals are already comparing this situation to Liepāja Metallurg fans' reaction when the team loses at home – there's also a collision between hopes and reality, just without such dramatic consequences. One person died, 13 were injured, two of them seriously.
'At least they didn't have to watch hockey players fail to score into an empty net,' comments one Liepāja resident who apparently understands what real suffering is. France is now investigating why army transport was on the railway, but we in Liepāja already know the answer – apparently they hadn't seen our traffic organization on Graudu Street in autumn rain.
