A shaken Wales head coach, Rhian Wilkinson, had described her players and staff as \u201cOK\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Wilkinson, the Wales captain, Angharad James, and the team\u2019s media manager, Owain Harries, did not travel on the bus. That trio were driven to St Gallen in a car to front a press conference at the stadium before Wednesday\u2019s Group D match against France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">The team were not far from their hotel about 30 minutes\u2019 drive from St Gallen when the collision occurred. \u201cI have been assured everyone on the bus is OK,\u201d said a clearly shocked Wales coach, who cancelled the planned training session at the stadium. She said: \u201cFootball is secondary now; we\u2019re shaken.
