    Turkish soccer club Samsunspor narrowly, and thankfully, averted tragedy after their team bus was hit by a train on Tuesday night.

    The top-division Turkish club was apparently on its way home from an away match against Kardemir Karabükspor when the team's bus was side-swiped by a train. The slow-moving train clipped the rear of the bus before spinning it around sideways.

    Video of the entire incident can be seen above.

    According to Today's Zaman, defender Hakan Arslan and 24-year-old midfielder Serdar Özkan were injured in the accident.

    The bus driver spoke to Today's Zaman after the crash:


    Samsunspor experienced a similar accident 23 years ago, although three players and the team's technical director died in that train-related accident. Luckily this accident was not as serious.

    Through 25 matches, Samsunspor currently sit 17th out of the 18-team Turkish Spor Toto Super League.
