A Post Media story from Kevin Mitchell details a freaky tough break
for a Swiss curler who was attempting to help out a stranded motorist.
Swiss skip Peter de Cruz and his team were in Saskatoon
preparing for the Point Optical spiel. Out for dinner, they came across a woman
who had driven over a cement barrier and they helped her lift the front of the
car off it. Unfortunately the barrier ended up on de Cruz’s toe and he ended up
on crutches. His toe appeared all bloody and it's extremely painful, putting his participation in the big cashspiel in doubt.
"The (barrier) wasn't attached to the ground and it flew at my legs. I caught it right on the toe," he recalled. "It hurt alot -- a lot of pain. I took my shoe and sock off and it was bleeding everywhere.
If de Cruz can't start, coach and retired player Claudio Pescia will suit up for the Swiss rink.
