However, he suffered fractures to both legs in a car crash on 2 December 1997 which claimed the life of Kosice midfielder Milan Čvirk. Rusnak played in some of Kosice's Champions League fixtures during the 1997-98 season, including the group stage clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford shortly before the crash.[3]
