⁍ English third-tier side Oxford United had to hire taxis or jump into their own cars to get to their match on Saturday.


⁍ The team bus was brought to a halt by an alcohol-based anti-COVID-19 spray.


⁍ Head coach Karl Robinson said the spray triggered an on-board breathalyser used to detect alcohol on the driver’s breath.


– Oxford United, a third-tier English soccer team, was on its way to a match against Accrington Stanley on Saturday when the team’s bus was sprayed with an anti-coVID-19 spray, which is used to detect alcohol in the driver’s breath, Reuters reports. The spray caused the bus to stop and the team to be stranded at their hotel for hours. “There is a spray inside the bus that sends out a fine antibacterial mist, but it had got into the sensors and has alcohol in it, so was saying the driver couldn’t drive,” the team’s coach says. “So we had to drive in our own cars and book taxis and got to the ground in the nick of time.” Oxford won the match 4-1.
