The Argentine icon and World Cup winner was driving near his home near his home in the suburb of Ezeiza when the accident happened.
His partner, Veronica Ojeda, was travelling in the same car and reportedly incurred a bruised rib.
“It is nothing serious,” said Maradona’s doctor Alfredo Cahe, his prognosis swiftly confirmed by hospital director Oscar Sico.
“Maradona is fine, he suffered virtually no whiplash. They (he and Ojeda) were taken hospital as a precaution but have no problems. They can both go home.”
Last week, Maradona was in hospital again but on that occasion as a visitor as he went to see his frail mother Dalma Franco, who is on a ventilator in a Buenos Aires sanitorium after suffering in recent days from a virus.
She also has a history of heart problems, which necessitated a spell in hospital late last year.
Maradona has been a spectator at the Copa America 2011 which Argentina is currently hosting
