The Welsh football association announces in a statement that no one was injured in the accident, neither anyone in the national team nor anyone in the other vehicle involved in the accident.

But Wales still chose to cancel Tuesday's training, which would have been held at Wednesday's match arena Kybunpark Stadium in St. Gallen.

Football is secondary and I think we are shaken because we are from the team right now with the knowledge that they needed to experience it, says Wales national team captain Rhian Wilkinson, who traveled separately to the arena, at a press conference.

Our priority is to gather the team and get them away from the place. We will check in to make sure that everyone is still okay.

Wales play against France on Wednesday. In the first European Championship match, Wales lost 0-3 to the Netherlands.
