Former Arsenal playe<\/a>r and Austrian goalkeeper Alex Manninger died tragically on Thursday after the vehicle he was driving was struck by a train at a railroad crossing in Salzburg, police said. He was 48.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Manninger was not immediately identified by law enforcement,<\/a> but a number of his former teams released statements on social media confirming the news of his tragic passing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Everyone at Arsenal is shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic passing of former goalkeeper, Alex Manninger,” the team\u2019s statement read. “All our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this incredibly sad time. Rest in peace, Alex.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police told The Associated Press that Manninger was involved in a fatal “traffic accident involving a local train and a car” at a railroad crossing early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

“Upon arrival, emergency responders found that the car\u2019s driver, a 48-year-old man from Salzburg, had already been freed from the vehicle by first responders and was undergoing CPR. Police assisted with resuscitation efforts, including the use of a defibrillator. Despite further efforts by paramedics and an emergency physician, resuscitation was unsuccessful. The man from Salzburg succumbed to his injuries.”<\/p>\n

The details of what led to the fatal wreck were not immediately known, but police said the car was struck and dragged by a train. There were no additional injuries reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
