Hull's Thomas unhurt after car crash

Premier League winger Sorba Thomas has been involved in a car crash close to Hull City's training ground, the club has confirmed.

The 27-year-old walked away from the crash, which happened on Millhouse Woods Lane in Cottingham on Friday morning. His vehicle, a grey Land Rover Defender, was pictured on its roof, with broken windows.

Humberside Police said emergency services remained at the scene and asked people to avoid the area.

In a statement, the club said it was "relieved" to hear its 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 said the crash, which happened at about 08:30 BST, woke her up.

"I was laid in bed [and] heard a noise – crash, bang," she said.

An NHS worker who lives on the road said the incident had left him unable to go to work as the road was blocked.
