July 24th UPDATE: We have obtained more info from a very reliable source on how Amaury hurt himself.
He fell from an underground platform onto the tracks, suffering from an open fracture and sectioning an artery in the leg. His life was probably saved when a friend present at the time who stopped the blood flow.
Hang in there Amaury!

This news breaks our hearts!
The 24 year old French player was involved in a very serious public transport accident a couple of weeks ago in Paris. Due to the injuries he sustained, Amaury Lepetit underwent a below the knee amputation.
Other details of his condition were not disclosed.
Amaury played in the B division of the French League winning 2 crowns in 2007 and 2008 with Paris Volley. He last played for Plessis-Robinson Volleyball.
We’re extremely sad with what happened to him & we wish Amaury to recover in time.
Be safe everyone!
