Police confirm no injuries
Police said officers attended reports of a one-car road traffic collision on the narrow residential lane. They confirmed that no injuries resulted from the incident.
French midfielder Gourna-Douath joined Hull during the summer transfer window. The club had been approached for a response, but no public comment had been issued at the time of reporting.
Second incident on the same lane
The crash follows an accident involving Hull midfielder Sorba Thomas on 11 September. Thomas emerged unhurt after his Land Rover rolled onto its roof on Millhouse Woods Lane.
After that earlier incident, local councillor Phil Redshaw said he had contacted Hull to ask the club to stress careful driving to players and staff travelling towards the training ground.
Redshaw said he had written to the club that Sunday, asking for a reminder that those arriving at the training site should use greater care and attention on the road.
