Jagr’s Facebook page updated his playing status for 2022-2023, which was written in Czech, came on the same day he revealed on Instagram that he had been involved in an automobile accident, further describing the incident with a tram as “my fault”. As stated on nhl.com, Jaromir Jagr penned,
“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 it half a meter in front of me, at the last minute. I thought [I would be dead]. 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.”
