By James Mercado On Oct 30, 2023

A video captures the moment when hockey player Adam Johnson sustained a strange injury on the ice that would later kill him. The Associated Press says that Johnson, who was born in the United States, accidentally cut his neck on a skate blade during a game in 2013.

You can watch the video below, but be aware that the moment it shows is upsetting. But it’s not brutal because it shows the crash from a long way away.

CNN says that Johnson hurt his neck very badly when the Nottingham Panthers played the Sheffield Steelers on October 28, 2023.

“Nothing could have prepared anyone for the horrific and tragic accident that happened before us last night,” a woman wrote on Facebook. Both my head and my heart are in pieces, and I’m having a hard time processing it all, along with a lot of other people. Adam Johnson, rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. The people who worked hard to save Adam’s life in the hospital, Matt Petgrave, the Panthers and Steelers players and staff, and all the fans who saw last night’s horrible scenes have my love as well. “I hope everyone is getting the help they need 😏🏛🤡”
