Chile and Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has escaped injury after he was involved in a car accident in his homeland on Tuesday.

Reports began to surface late in the day suggesting that the 28-year-old, who has been one of the undisputed stars of the 2015 Copa America thus far, crashed his Ferrari on a highway on the outskirts of Santiago.

After police confirmed that a red Ferrari was involved in the incident - the same vehicle the mohawk-clad dynamo arrived to training with earlier in the day - Vidal confirmed that he was indeed in an accident, but was quick to note that he and his family did not sustain any serious injuries.

Vidal, who leads the Copa America scoring chart with three goals, is expected to be fit for the host nation's final group match against Bolivia on Friday.
