Hull City Winger Sorba Thomas Unharmed After Car Crash
Confirmed
In Short: Hull City winger Sorba Thomas escaped injury in a car accident near the club's training ground.
Sorba Thomas, the Hull City winger, was involved in a car crash near the club's training ground and emerged unscathed, according to a statement from the Premier League club. Thomas, 27, joined Hull City from Stoke City on the transfer deadline day and made his debut in a recent match against Aston Villa.
A woman who lives near the scene of the accident reported hearing a loud noise around 08:30 BST. "I was laid in bed [and] heard a noise – crash, bang," she said. The crash occurred on Millhouse Woods Lane in Cottingham, and Thomas's Land Rover flipped onto its roof. Despite the severity of the accident, Thomas walked away from the incident without sustaining any injuries.
Hull City confirmed that Thomas will travel with the squad for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Chelsea on September 12. The club is also aware of images of Thomas's car circulating on social media and has reassured supporters that the player is uninjured. Thomas, who signed for an undisclosed fee and has a four-year contract with the club, is a Wales international and made his debut for Hull City in their recent match.
The incident highlights the risks associated with morning commutes, especially for high-profile athletes. Thomas's car, a luxury Land Rover Defender, was involved in the violent crash, which flipped the vehicle entirely onto its roof. The club's statement expressed relief at the player's safety and confirmed that he will be available for the upcoming match.
