Premier League star flips car on its roof in residential street: Hull City’s new £10m signing in crash in his Land Rover Defender while on the way to training

Hull City’s new signing Sorba Thomas’s car was involved in a road traffic accident on his way to training, new pictures on Friday morning have revealed. 

A £60,000 Land Rover Defender – with a personalised number plate – was pictured on its roof with smashed glass just a stone’s throw from Hull City’s training ground. 

A member of staff from the club, understood to be manager Sergej Jakirovic, can be seen in the vicinity of the crash, which is understood to have happened on Millhouse Wood Lane.

Thomas has featured twice for the Tigers since making the step up from Championship club Stoke City.

The Welshman started Tuesday night’s 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat by Sunderland  and made an appearance off the bench in the 0-0 Premier League draw against Aston Villa. 

After his cameo against Villa, Thomas shared his delight on Instagram. He posted: Pinch [me] moment for me and my family today!!! Premier League debut.’ 

Hull face Chelsea on Saturday at 3pm in the Premier League.
