Hull City have confirmed Sorba Thomas was unhurt after flipping his vehicle near the club’s training ground on Friday morning.
Images on social media showed a Land Rover Defender with a personalised registration lying upside down beside a narrow residential street.
Eyewitnesses said the incident occurred around 9am, with fire engines and police attending the scene.
Pictures online also showed Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic at the site.
The Premier League club verified Wales international Thomas was driving, but stated he is "totally unscathed" and will travel with the rest of the squad for their match against Chelsea on Saturday.
A statement from the club read: "Hull City is relieved to confirm that Sorba Thomas is unharmed following a road traffic accident near to the club’s Cottingham training ground.
"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."
Thomas joined Hull from Stoke on deadline day, debuting in last week’s draw with Aston Villa. Jakirovic spoke about the winger on Thursday, remarking that he "suits" the club.
"I don’t have any doubt about Sorba because he made a difference in the Championship (at Stoke)," he said.
"He is a left winger and we can use him inside like a left (sided) number 10. He knows football. He is very good in delivery and his end product is good. Also, he has very good set-pieces.
"He is sharp and has speed. Also, in defence, he is very responsible. I think he suits us a lot. Like always, I hope he can help us."
Hull are set to return to Premier League action at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
Jakirovic joked on Thursday that the best way to stop the free-scoring Blues would be to “kick them”.
Asked how Hull might neutralise them, Jakirovic joked: "To kick them? No, if you are there man-marking, you don’t have chance.
"So, it’s very, very simple because they are capable to pass one, two, three players. It’s about being together – compact team, team effort and defending as a team, and we will see.
"But they have very, very big quality and it will be very, very demanding for us. Tough, but we will see. Like I said, it’s a great challenge ahead of us, and we will try to play."
