"Fortunately, no other vehicle was involved, and no one was injured," the Eagles said.
"This matter is being investigated by the WA police and Tyler is fully co-operating.
"Tyler's personal circumstances are complex, and the club will prioritise his health and wellbeing ahead of any return to playing football.
"The club has informed the AFL regarding this incident, and we await the outcome of the police investigation before making any further comment."
Brockman played 26 games for Hawthorn being being traded at the end of last year.
He played West Coast's first six games this season, but did not play in Saturday's loss to Essendon.
