PRINCETON, N.J. - The ECHL announced that a bus carrying the Elmira Jackals
hockey club back from its game at Cincinnati on Wednesday was involved in
an accident on Interstate 90 in Pennsylvania early Thursday morning.
There were not any life-threatening injuries suffered by players or staff
members.
The driver, Kenneth Nance, was taken to Hamot Medical Center in Erie, Pa.
where he was treated for lower-body injuries and, according to a report by
The Associated Press, was in serious condition in intensive care.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Kenneth
Nance," said ECHL Commissioner Brian McKenna. "We feel very fortunate that
the players and staff escaped with what appear to be mostly minor
injuries."
The Jackals are not scheduled to play again until Dec. 5 when they will host the Trenton Devils at First Arena.
