NHL Legend Jaromir Jagr Involved In 'High-Speed' Crash With Tram, Somehow OK
NHL Legend Jaromir Jagr Car Collides With Tram At 'High Speed' ... Somehow Uninjured
Jaromir Jagr -- one of the best NHL players ever -- says he's fortunate to be alive today ... after his car collided with a tram at a high rate of speed.
The Pittsburgh Penguins legend explained the terrifying accident in a post on his social media page Wednesday ... saying it was all his fault.
In his post, which was written in Czech, Jagr said he was trying to cross the road, and ultimately didn't see a tram that was coming at him at "high speed."
"I thought it was my end," the 50-year-old said.
In a photo of his car following the accident, you can see the tram hit Jagr's driver's side door -- leaving a huge dent. The hockey player, though, said he somehow escaped just fine.
"I climbed out without injury," he said.
According to Czech news website iSport.cz, authorities said Jagr's alcohol tests were negative.

"I thank everyone for their understanding," Jagr said, "and also for the help to those who intervened on the spot."
Jagr was an 8-time NHL All-Star who piled up 766 goals in his 24-year career. He stopped playing in the NHL following the 2017-18 season.
