The incident comes at a difficult time for the Bulls, who are currently at the bottom of the KRU Championship log with five points, having registered two wins, one draw, and five losses so far this season.
Despite the challenging campaign, the club will be relieved that the accident did not result in major injuries as they shift focus back to their survival battle in the league.
Up next, the troubled Bulls will welcome Homeboyz RFC in a clash slated for Saturday, 28 February at the Bull Ring.
