USC commit Alijah Arenas, son of Gilbert Arenas, is ‘much better’ days after accident
The family said Arenas remembered the smoke from the crash and wrote to ask, “Did anyone get hurt?”
The Los Angeles Police Department said officers responded shortly before 5 a.m. Thursday to a single-vehicle collision in the Reseda area of the San Fernando Valley. The LA Fire Department further said the vehicle was a Tesla Cybertruck that crashed into a tree and a fire hydrant with fire involved.
No cause of the crash has been released.
The family expressed its gratitude to those who have helped Arenas and said further updates would be shared “as Alijah continues to heal.”
Arenas is attending Chatsworth High School in Los Angeles, where he became the first prep boys’ player to score 3,000 career points.
