Former NHL superstar Jaromir Jagr revealed via his Instagram account that he got into a high-speed accident back in his home country Czech Republic. Fortunately, the 50-year-old hockey legend came away unscathed from his car's collision with a tram.

Here's an English translation of Jagr's story about the accident, via Jon Sorensen of NovaCaps:

“Dear fans, but everyone else. I would just like to tell you briefly what happened today when I was involved in the accident. It was my fault. On Plzeňská, I tried to cross from one direction to another. I checked the other side and drove into it at the right time. But there was a lot of traffic and I didn’t have time to react to the tram, which was going at high speed in the same direction as me. I noticed her half a meter in front of me, at the last minute. I thought it was my end. I have always believed that force majeure has a hand over me, and today I have seen it again. Thank God! And it also surprised me and actually saved my KIA, from which, despite what it looked like, I climbed out without injury. But most importantly, nothing happened to the passengers on the tram. I would like to end this sad event. And I thank everyone for their understanding and also for their help to those who intervened on the spot.“

If anything, it goes to show just how indestructible Jaromir Jagr is. The man is a living legend and he's not even done playing hockey. He has yet to announce his retirement from the game he loves the most, as he just recently revealed that he will be skating for the Kladno Knights in the 2022-23 season of the Czech Extraliga.
