SAN FRANCISCO — The Broncos’ Monday bus crash might have resulted in more fallout than first thought.
A Denver TV station reported Tuesday that several Broncos players reported lingering soreness and headaches from the collision of three buses carrying the team back from practice for Super Bowl 50 at Stanford.
The accident resulted from a motorist refusing to yield to the Broncos’ police escort, causing the second and third buses to collide when the first bus slammed on the brakes to avoid the motorist.
The team released a statement Monday afternoon saying that no players were injured, but Denver’s KUSA-TV reported that several sought treatment from the Broncos’ training staff for soreness and headaches.
Denver coach Gary Kubiak downplayed the broadcast report Tuesday afternoon.
“Obviously, it scared some guys,” Kubiak said. “We went through a tough situation, but after going through every guy who was on the buses, [Broncos athletic trainer Steve Antonopulos] did a great job.
“They got them back here, checked them all out,” Kubiak added. “We feel very fortunate. We feel like everybody is fine. I think that’s behind us and behind us the right way, because everybody is OK. That’s the good thing.”
Broncos more banged up after bus crash than first thought
Pat Bowlen should sue the San Francisco board of supervisors. The city of San Francisco wanted the super bowl there so they're responsible what happens to teams when they get there.
