Over a dozen members of the Kuwaiti men’s waterpolo team were injured in a road accident, one of them seriously, near the northern city of Thessaloniki, local police said on Thursday. Fourteen of the athletes and the team’s Greek driver were hospitalized in Thessaloniki overnight, though none are in immediate danger. Four were still in hospital on Thursday, including 31-year-old Adnan Khan who has multiple fractures, local officials said. The accident occurred on Wednesday on a rural road outside the city when the team’s minivan glanced off an incoming car and overturned. The car’s Georgian driver was later arrested after being confirmed drunk, police said. The Kuwaiti team was in Thessaloniki for a friendly against the Greek national squad.
