According to ‘The Truth’, the unlicensed underage kid ran the red light and hit his SUV’s head, resulting in a major car crash. Per investigation, the kid took his mother’s car for a ride without permission.

“The motherf***** hit me. f**ked my leg up. It’s crazy. He ran the light. Always happen to me. I’ve seen him coming too. He ran right into me”, Spence said.

Talking about the accident, he said, “I wanna say no serious injuries on the top, thank God for that man. I wasn’t injured, he wasn’t injured, and we weren’t having serious injuries. So it’s all blessings. I think two days before that kid was angry and the car crashed. A lot of things we take for granted. We shouldn’t take it for granted.”

Errol Spence Jr. and his car crash history

The undefeated southpaw had serious injuries in a major car crash in 2019. Back then, the world-champion boxer had lost control of his Ferrari while driving in the early hours of the morning. Unlike in this car accident, he was ejected out of the car and suffered severe injuries.

Later, in June 2022, it was found that ‘The Truth’ was intoxicated while driving. As a result, he had to pay $3400 in fines and a 3-day jail sentence.

The second car accident never came into the news. After stopping Yordenis Ugas in April earlier this year, Spence Jr. himself revealed his involvement. It was not major, but it shook him.
