Alijah Arenas detailed the frightening car crash that put him in a medically induced coma during a press conference on Tuesday.
The son of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas and an incoming USC basketball freshman said he was heading home from shooting practice on April 24 when his Cybertruck suddenly lost control, crashing into a fire hydrant and a tree.
“I switched lanes without meaning to, and I knew something was wrong, and next thing you know, I can’t get back to the left lane,” Arenas, 18, said. “So then a car is coming towards me, and I think that I’ll just pull over. So I speed up to pull over to the right in a neighborhood because there are cars parked on the street I’m on to the right. But when I’m speeding up to turn, I can’t stop. The wheel wasn’t responding to me as if I wasn’t in the car.”
