Hull's Sorba Thomas Escapes Injury After Car Overturns

Hull City winger Sorba Thomas escaped without injury after his car overturned in a crash close to the club’s training ground on Friday morning.

The 27-year-old’s grey Land Rover Defender ended up on its roof on Millhouse Woods Lane in Cottingham, a short distance from Hull’s base. Images from the scene showed the vehicle with smashed windows and significant damage, but Thomas was able to climb out unaided.

Humberside Police confirmed emergency services remained at the scene as investigations continued and urged the public to stay away from the area while they worked.

Hull City later moved to calm growing concern among supporters as pictures of the wrecked car spread across social media. In a statement, the club said it was “relieved” to learn Thomas was unharmed and stressed he had “sustained no injuries and emerged from his vehicle completely unscathed.”

Thomas only joined the Tigers earlier this month from Stoke City, stepping up from the Championship to the Premier League. His start to life at Hull has been dramatic off the pitch, but crucially, he walks away ready to resume it on it.
