Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball was involved in a car accident Wednesday afternoon in Uptown Charlotte in which his custom 2022 Hummer struck a gray Kia sedan, reports and online video of the incident appears to show.
WSOC-TV published footage of the wreck on its website.
According to WSOC, the collision happened when Ball's vehicle — driving west on Trade Street — attempted to make a left turn onto Tryon Street and crashed into the gray Kia, which was going east on Trade.
One person had minor injuries, and witnesses reportedly saw Ball hop out of the Hummer and into a Lamborghini.
