The sportsman-turned-reality-TV-star was the passenger in a car driving through Fort Lauderdale, Florida when one of the tyres is said to have blown out.

The vehicle then rolled three times and Rodman was pulled from the wreckage by passersby, according to TMZ.com.

Rodman hurt his finger in the smash, while the driver was transported to a local hospital and treated for head injuries.

The star's agent, Darren Prince, says, ""Thank God he's OK. He walked out with a little scratch on his finger.""
