The Hornets point guard was driving in Uptown, Charlotte, with vision capturing the moment he and another vehicle collided head on.
The incident left his tricked out 2022 GMC Hummer EV missing its front left tyre and crumpled the front panel. Each tyre has a custom orange rim with “1 of 1” written on it.

The driver of the sedan KIA’s condition is unknown, though the car also sustained heavy damage. The driver reportedly came over to check on Ball after the incident.
Ball reportedly was picked up by somebody in a Lamborghini shortly after the crash and seemingly escaped the incident without serious injuries.
