Manager Brian Snitker Announces Devastating News About Motor Accident in His Swimming Pool
In a shocking turn of events, Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker has revealed devastating news regarding a motor accident that occurred in his personal swimming pool. Snitker, who has been the face of the Braves since 2016, shared the details of the incident in a press conference earlier this afternoon.
According to Snitker, the accident happened at his home, where he was involved in an unfortunate mishap with an electric-powered pool cleaner. The device, which is designed to assist in maintaining the pool’s cleanliness, malfunctioned, causing a series of unintended consequences. The pool cleaner’s motor, which was still operational at the time, unexpectedly ignited a small fire, sending smoke into the pool area.
“I’m still in a bit of shock, honestly,” Snitker said. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before. It all happened so fast. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the damage to the pool and some surrounding equipment is substantial. It’s been a stressful few hours, but I’m grateful for the quick response from the fire department.”
Snitker clarified that the accident occurred when the motor malfunctioned while the cleaner was still in the pool, leading to a short circuit. While the fire department acted quickly to extinguish the flames, some property damage occurred in the vicinity of the pool area, though no structural damage to the house was reported.
As of now, Snitker is expected to resume his regular duties with the Braves following the incident. However, he acknowledged the mental toll it’s taken on him and his family.
“I’m looking forward to getting back to work, but this has been a tough one to process,” he added. The Braves organization has also expressed their full support for their manager during this challenging time.
