Ramovic reflected on the impact of witnessing the accident, acknowledging its profound effect on the team. Despite emerging physically unscathed, the emotional toll on players and staff was palpable.

“This is what we know, we just pray that the woman who lost her life is in the most beautiful place in heaven. We will try our best to help where we can to help the children of the woman, the best we can," he said, as quoted by iDiski Times.

The club's president, Tim Sukazi, had earlier stressed the challenges faced by the team in the aftermath of the accident. Notably, the absence of professional counselling compounded the players' distress.

Sukazi appealed for understanding and support from the league, highlighting the gravity of the situation and its impact on the team's well-being.

“It is the league that makes decisions, but then we need to report and make them aware and also make them aware that our players are in trauma and distress state. What caused the trauma and made it worse was the situation where the driver of that vehicle lost her life," he explained, as quoted by Far Post.
