A Premier League player has been involved in a car crash near Hull City's training ground weeks after a similar incident involving his teammate.

A black Mercedes, which the BBC understands belongs to midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath, 24, crashed on Millhouse Woods Lane in Cottingham, East Yorkshire.

Pictures of the scene show the car on its side. One person told the BBC that the vehicle had also struck and damaged a resident's car.
