What Happened in the Errol Spence Jr Car Accident?
On Saturday night, Errol was engaged in a massive vehicle accident, his second in as many years, but he averted serious harm. In a self-shot video from the aftermath of the incident, the 32-year-old Texan said he was hit in the head by a 14-year-old who took his parent’s car without permission or a driver’s license.
Spence looked to be alluding to his 2019 single-car accident, in which he was thrown from his Ferrari after drinking and failing to secure his seatbelt. Spence emerged reasonably unscathed, though he did complain of a leg injury while documenting the immediate aftermath on Instagram Live while waiting for neighboring officials to come and perform an on-site investigation.
He disclosed that he was engaged in a second automobile accident roughly three months after the near-fatal October 2019 event before his stoppage victory over Yordenis Ugas earlier this year. Spence disclosed in that instance that he had been rear-ended and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
