A British citizen who has been working on the European Games has died following a traffic accident in Baku, Azerbaijan.
FiveCurrents, the production company for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games, has confirmed that a man, who has not been named, was killed in the accident on June 23.
A statement from the company read: "It is with great sadness that FiveCurrents confirms that a member of its production team died following a traffic incident on Baku's Heydar Aliyev Prospekti on June 23.
"The team member was a British citizen who worked for a company contracted by FiveCurrents, the Baku 2015 ceremonies production company. Three other team members also required immediate hospital treatment after the incident and will be repatriated so they can receive further medical attention.
"We are thankful to the Baku 2015 organising committee, the Azerbaijan ministry of health and the British Embassy in Baku who were of great assistance in delivering medical care and consular services for all involved."
