The incident occurred prior of Leeds United’s Elland Road game against Norwich City on Thursday evening.
Charlie Cresswell, a Leeds United defender, was involved in a car accident with a police vehicle this morning but was unharmed and is available for tonight’s match against Norwich City.
The England Under-21 footballer was on his way to Elland Road near the West Stand entry gate when the collision occurred at 10 a.m. on Thursday. A police officer was treated for minor injuries, however Leeds United claims the collision was minimal and Cresswell suffered no injuries. Both autos suffered substantial damage.
Police say their investigation into the incident is ongoing. A spokeswoman said: “At 10.13 a.m. today (Thursday), police were aware of a collision involving a police car and a Land Rover Defender on Elland Road in Leeds. An officer received medical care for minor injuries. No other injuries were reported. Enquiries are still ongoing.
Cresswell is anticipated to be in the Leeds squad for tonight’s play-off semi-final second leg against Norwich. On matchdays, Leeds players park their cars behind the stadium’s West Stand and spend the day at the team hotel for their last pre-match meetings.
