ST. GALLEN, Switzerland (AP) — The Wales team bus was involved in a road traffic crash on Tuesday and its training session was canceled at the stadium where it plays France at the Women’s European Championship.

The Welsh Football Association said in a statement all the people involved — players and staff on the bus and in the other vehicle — were unharmed in the incident en route to the stadium in St. Gallen.

Wales coach Rhian Wilkinson, a Canada Soccer Hall of Famer who won 181 caps for Canada, travelled separately from the team to the stadium for a news conference one day ahead of Wednesday’s game.

“Football is secondary and I think, yes, we are shaken because we are away from the team right now knowing that they’ve had to experience that,” the 43-year-old from Baie D’Urfe, Que., said in comments reported by the BBC.
