A bus of OGC Nice supporters came close to disaster after being targeted by stone throwing during the night from Friday to Saturday.

Violence and stupidity clearly have a capacity to transmit among certain football “supporters”. During the night from Friday to Saturday, a bus carrying OGC Nice fans avoided an outcome where the number of injured could have been greater and more serious, by not ruling out the worst.

Around one o’clock in the morning on February 17, a stone, apparently thrown from an A46 bridge, crossed the windshield of the vehicle, indicated the Prefecture of Rhône, cited by theAFP. Time to stop in a motorway area to wait for emergency services, the police and to see an injured passenger, the bus left towards Nice and arrived around seven in the morning.

Let’s imagine that the projectile hits the driver’s head and he loses control of the steering wheel… “We strongly condemn any violence and hope that the perpetrators of these acts will be found and prosecuted. “, reacted Laurent Prud’homme, the general director ofOL, winner of OGC Nice on Friday evening (1-022nd day of Ligue 1).

On October 29 in Marseille, an ambush attack targeted the OL bus in which Fabio Grosso was. The coach of the Lyon team at the time almost lost an eye.
