The driver of the other vehicle was also unharmed.
Police, firefighters and paramedics were among the emergency responders sent to the scene.
Edwards, born in England to an English father and a Greek Cypriot mother, was on his way to his last training session with his club before their Europa League clash against Italian side Atalaya.
He came through Spurs’ academy before making one team appearance.
After loan spells at Norwich and Excelsior, Edwards joined Vitoria on a permanent basis in 2019.
Two-and-a-half seasons later he signed for Sporting Lisbon, where he has gone on to excel.
Edwards came back to haunt Spurs last season, scoring against them in the Champions League.
The winger, who was capped nearly 50 times for England at U16 to U19 level, was recently linked with a move back to the club.
Reports earlier this month said his current contract is believed to possess a £52 million release clause.
He is considered to be one of the best Englishmen playing football abroad.
