Hockey legend Jaromir Jagr's Kia EV6 T-boned by tram
Former NHL legend Jaromir Jagr finally hung up his Stateside skates at the end of the 2017-2018 season after an absurdly long career, but the 50-year-old still plays hockey in his native Czech Republic. He took to Instagram early Wednesday to get the word out about a crash he had while driving his Kia EV6. Seems that he didn't have enough time to clear a set of tram tracks before the tram arrived and the high-speed shuttle whacked his car in the driver's side door. He posted a picture of the car with the smashed door and blown airbags.

His full caption, via Google Translate, is:
"Dear fans, and everyone else. I would just like to tell you briefly what happened today when I was involved in the accident. It was my mistake.
"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.
