WebDriverException: Message: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 1

Question

I want to run selenium in google colab i ran the following code:

    !apt update
    !apt install chromium-chromedriver
    !pip install selenium
    # set options to be headless, ..
    from selenium import webdriver
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.add_argument('--headless')
    options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
    options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
    # open it, go to a website, and get results
    wd = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
    wd.get("https://www.whoscored.com")
    print(wd.page_source)  # results`

the result expected is the page source being printed out instead i get this error in my notebook:

WebDriverException: Message: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 1

Here is the link of the notebook:

I found out the solution from Selenium use chrome on Colab got unexpectedly exited. Looks like it was a runtime issue. Changing it and following the steps in the link helped and I executed the code there to fix the problem
