The 39-year-old suffered a head injury and was immediately taken to hospital for treatment.
However, it is suggested the two-time AFCON winner is recovering well under close attention from doctors.
Cameroonian journalist Martin Camus tweeted a picture of Eto’o’s apparent destroyed motor alongside the caption: “The crushed car Samuel Eto’o was in.
“I can confirm that he is fine, we spoke again. Doctors taking care of additional examinations.”
Eto’o spent five years with Barcelona before leaving for Inter Milan in 2009 where he was part of Jose Mourinho’s treble-winning side.
He enjoyed a stint in the Premier League with Chelsea and Everton while winning 118 caps for his country.
He won 11 major club silverware in his career including three Champions League titles.
Also, he was part of the Cameroonian side that won gold in the football event of the Sydney 2000 Olympic games.
