Hull City Star Lucas Gourna-Douath Involved in Shocking Car Accident
1 October 2026
In a startling turn of events, Hull City midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath found himself in a car accident near the club's training ground. This incident occurred on Millhouse Woods Lane in Cottingham, East Yorkshire, just weeks after another crash involving his teammate.
Reports suggest that Gourna-Douath's black Mercedes flipped over during the mishap, leaving the vehicle on its side. Local residents were quick to react, with one confirming to the BBC that her own car had been damaged in the collision.
Hull City released a statement acknowledging the situation, assuring fans that everyone involved emerged unscathed. "We are aware of images circulating on social media following a road traffic accident near the training ground and can confirm that no one was harmed in the incident," the club said.
This isn't the first time Hull City players have faced car troubles on this street. Just three weeks earlier, Sorba Thomas, another member of the squad, was in a similar situation on the same road.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic. Paul Nickerson, who lives nearby, shared his experience: "I arrived just after it turned over because I heard the noise. If it had happened a minute before, my wife was walking down the road with our kids taking them to school. So, it's really worrying."
Longtime resident Tracy Evans expressed her concerns about safety on the road, noting that she has been advocating for a reduced speed limit for nearly a decade. "At that time, children are coming, going to school, the parents are coming back," she said. She believes it's crucial to implement measures that could prevent future incidents like this one.
