Professional American Boxer, Errol Spence Jr, Avoids Serious Injury After Horrifying Crash
Champion boxer, Errol Spence Jr, was unfortunately involved in a horrifying crash on Thursday morning in Dallas.
Footage of the crash has been released and it shows that the boxer lost control of the car while traveling at a high speed.
This resulted in the car being flipped multiple times and the 29 year old was ejected from his car.
TMZ Reports:
Spence is expected to make a full recovery from the rollover crash and miraculously only suffered cuts to his face.
In footage obtained by CBS 11 and WFAA 8, Spence’s white Ferrari can be seen entering the frame from the corner of the camera at high speeds around 3 a.m.
For a brief moment, the vehicle gains momentum in the air, before it crosses the center median and aggressively tumbles through the empty downtown Dallas street.
As the Ferrari makes multiple flips and turns, which forcefully ejected Spence, 29, from the car, it leaves behind a large trail of smoke and debris scattered in its pathway.
Following the crash, two cars were recorded passing by the horrifying scene, though they did not stop to help Spence, who Dallas Police said was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident.
Footage of the aftermath of the crash also showed Spence’s mangled Ferrari being loaded into a tow truck. The vehicle’s rear end is crushed and the hood shows serious damage.
Spence was immediately taken to the ICU at Methodist Dallas Medical Center once authorities arrived at the scene. He is expected to survive his injuries, according to the Dallas Police Department and Spence’s management company.
“Spence is awake & responding and his condition is stable. He did not sustain any broken bones—but has some facial lacerations,” PBC wrote on Twitter. “He is expected to make a full recovery and is resting with his family by his side.”
“The Spence’s want to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes and are extremely grateful to the Dallas first responders who rushed to the scene and the doctors who are taking care of him,” the company added.
The unified welterweight world champion is currently 26-0 in his professional career and holds both the IBF title — which he has held since May 2017 — and the WBC title, which he earned last month.
We are so happy to hear that Errol’s injuries were not serious and he is now out of the critical condition state. Let us continue to pray for a speedy recovery for him. And now you’re officially in the KNOW!
