LaMelo Ball made headlines this week for an unexpected reason—his custom GMC Hummer was involved in a car crash in Charlotte that was all captured on video. As the footage shows, the impressive 2022 Hummer EV Edition 1 collided with a Kia sedan at the bustling intersection of Trade and Tryon. The impact was alarming, tearing a wheel right off Ball’s flashy ride and raising eyebrows about just how fierce the collision really was.
Fortunately, it seems that LaMelo walked away from the accident without a scratch, while one person involved sustained minor injuries. The incident highlights the fact that even celebrities aren’t immune to the chaos of the road. With both vehicles towed from the scene, the basketball star might need to reflect on driving his high-profile vehicle in busy urban settings. Here’s hoping this isn’t the first of many car-related antics for Ball—after all, he’s better suited for the court than the highway!
