Picture of crashed coach in which Wigan Warriors fans were injured after Catalans match

A coach containing 50 Wigan Warriors supporters struck a motorway bridge following Saturday night's Super League game against Catalans Dragons.

Police and rescue services attended the scene on the outskirts of Perpignan at 10pm and a dozen passengers were assessed for injuries.

Two passengers were classified as receiving minor injuries and they were taken to a local medical centre.

One of the passengers on the coach told Wigan Today: "We were on this coach and the driver went under a low bridge. Thankfully there were no major injuries and the two who went to the hospital are back in their hotels now with minor injuries."

Wigan Warriors fans praised Kris Radlinski for his support after the crash

The female Wigan supporter added: "The emergency crews were fantastic and the owner of the sports tour and Wigan chief executive Kris Radlinski came down to offer support until a replacement coach arrived to take us home.

"And of course everyone on the coach supported and helped each other."
