SVG squad members sustain minor injuries in accident

ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) – Several members of the St Vincent and the Grenadines national team were taken to hospital suffering with minor injuries after the bus in which they were travelling was involved in an accident here yesterday.

The St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation said the accident took place on Bolans Highway at approximately 15:25hrs while the team were on their way to the stadium where they are contesting Group 5 of the CFU Caribbean Cup qualifiers.
“The incident left senior coach Cornelius Huggins, assistant coach Wesley Charles, goalkeeper coach Kevin Richardson, assistant technical director Alnif Williams and player Jahvin Sutherland with minor leg injuries, but they (were carried) to the hospital as a precautionary measure,” the federation said
“The rest of the team are already on another bus and headed to the stadium in preparation for the game.”
SVG were scheduled to play Anguilla last evening in their second game of the tournament.
The Vincentians defeated the Dominican Republic 1-0 in their opening game on Wednesday.
