Premier League winger Sorba Thomas has been involved in a car accident near Hull City’s training facility, the club has revealed.
The 27-year-old Sorba walked away from the collision, which happened on Millhouse Woods Lane in Cottingham on Friday morning.
His gray Land Rover Defender was seen standing on its roof, with damaged windows.
Humberside Police said emergency personnel were still on the site and advised people to avoid the area.
In a statement, the club stated it was “relieved” to learn that their player, who joined the Tigers from Championship side Stoke City earlier this month, was unharmed.
The club added, “The club is aware of images of Sorba’s car circulating on social media and can reassure supporters that he has sustained no injuries and emerged from his vehicle completely unscathed.”
A woman who lives at the scene stated that the crash, which happened at about 08:30 BST, woke her up.
“I was lying in bed [and] heard a noise—crash, bang,” she said.
“I got up, came down, and the car is in my hedge.”
An NHS worker who lives on the road said the incident made him unable to get to work since the road was blocked.
“There will be patients who will miss appointments because of this,” he said.
“It’s one road in and one road out. It was an accident waiting to happen.”
Thomas joined for an undisclosed amount till summer 2030 and represented Wales at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
