The Flyers said that winger Jake Voracek escaped injury Wednesday after crashing his Ferrari into a truck in his hometown of Kladno, Czech Republic.
The incident was reported on the Czech Republic website Sport.cz.
According to the Google translation of the report, Voracek was speeding down the road when a truck coming from the opposite direction slowed to turn left. A police spokesman told Sport.cz that Voracek "failed to comply with safe distance from the vehicle ahead."
The Flyers released a statement by general manager Paul Holmgren: "I spoke with Jake this morning. He was involved in a car accident in the Czech Republic. Although his car did suffer damage, there were no injuries. Jake is fine."
"All good," Voracek told CSNPhilly.com in a text. "No injuries, no alcohol."
Voracek, who will turn 24 in August, scored a career-high 24 goals in the shortened 48-game season.
