The celebration of promotion to the Turkish Super League of Kocaelispor It was marked by a great scare that fortunately was only that, beyond having physical consequences for the protagonist.
It happened amid the euphoria of the Turkish team, which this weekend had secured promotion to the Ottoman football elite.
A open-top bus would travel the streets of Izmit, but from the club they did not take into account that it would pass under bridges and tunnels in which the vehicle passed very fairly during the route.
As a result, when passing under one of its bridges, panic seized players and coaches as they shouted at each other to warn that they had to duck to avoid misfortune. It was then that one of the players, Bahri Can Avci, rushed from the top of the bus hitting the asphalt directly.
After the brutal fall, the rest of the vehicles managed to stop in time, avoiding being hit. Avci was taken to the emergency hospital, and luckily there was no serious injury to regret, although they did find several cracks in his ribs. A scare that the Turkish player will never forget.
