The fatal accident is said to have occurred ten minutes after the end of the match between Lorient and Rennes.
Ten minutes after the end of the match between Lorient and Rennes in France’s Ligue 1, the tragic accident that characterizes French football occurred on Sunday night. The visiting team took a comfortable 3-0 victory, before the field teams took to the field to maintain the grass.
A gardener must have had the lighting system on him, which is used to keep the Moustoir stadium turf in good condition, writes the French newspaper LEquipe.
The service worker who, according to the newspaper, works as a volunteer gardener must have screamed in pain and was seriously injured. Several people are said to have broken into the scene and he is said to have received CPR immediately in the field.
There must have been several witnesses to the incident, including several players.
Three-quarters of an hour after the accident, the ambulance left the road to transport the gardener to the hospital.
However, the 38-year-old man’s life could not be saved. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The man leaves three children, writes the French press.
The local newspaper Ouest-France also reports on the tragic incident.
Rennes coach Julien Stephan spoke to the press after the match.
– I do not know if they are aware of what happened in the field, with the gardener, Stephan told reporters and referred to the accident that had happened just before.
Also present was the Mayor of Lorient, Fabrice Loher.
“It’s a terrible accident,” he said simply. I can’t say anything else at this point. Lorient police marked the scene and an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of the accident.
