An unbelievable tragedy. A promising 20-year-old Polish football player died in a shocking traffic accident after colliding with a deer that crashed through his windshield while he was driving.

British outlet 'The Sun' reported on the 24th (Korean time) that "Oscar Cordus, a defender for Kania Goscin in Poland's fourth division, passed away at the age of 20 following a tragic deer collision accident."

The accident occurred around 6 a.m. local time last Monday on a road between Krajewice and Grabonóg in Poland. According to local reports, a deer struck by a Volkswagen driven by a 52-year-old man was flung into the opposite lane, where it crashed directly through the windshield of Cordus's BMW as he was driving there.

Cordus's vehicle collided forcefully with the deer on its face and body, veered off the road, and rolled down an adjacent ditch. The driver of the opposing Volkswagen was unharmed.

According to the Goscin district fire department, two people were in Cordus's vehicle at the time of the accident. When firefighters arrived on the scene, Cordus, one of the occupants, was in cardiac arrest. The other passenger was confirmed to be uninjured.

Firefighters who responded immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). After emergency medical services arrived and continued first aid, Cordus's breathing was restored. However, he was urgently airlifted to a hospital in Poznań but ultimately passed away at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

His club, Kania Goscin, expressed its deep sorrow via official social networking services (SNS). The club stated, "We received the news of our player Oscar Cordus's death with immense grief and shock. All Koo Seong-won-eul (CEO) of Kania Goscin extend their deepest condolences to Oscar's family, relatives, and friends. In this tragic moment, we share in the sorrow and unite our hearts and thoughts. May he rest in peace."

Cordus was a promising defender who had transferred from Korona Piaski to Kania Goscin ahead of this season and appeared in seven league matches. He started and played the full match against Pogon Nowe Skalmierzyce in a league game last Saturday, but suffered the sudden accident just three days later.

His former club, Korona Piaski, paid tribute to the deceased, saying, "Oscar Cordus left us yesterday amid a tragic situation. He was a player who grew up within our club's youth system since his childhood."
