Wonder who was at fault

Damn - thoughts with him.

Odd - no details on crash/photos and stating Arenas has no broken bones.

How exactly do you suffer what’s presumably a serious brain injury - but no other fractures.

Almost sounds to me to be some sort of car surfing accident or something stupid like that. Would explain why no crash photos (as no damaged car) and the serious head injury but no other fractures.

Maybe no seat belt?

18 year old in a vehicle with over 600 horsepower is a recipe for disaster.

Sad. One of the downsides of having a lot of money at a young age. tsk tsk.

He never would’ve gotten the accident if didn’t receive lots of money

Yea - because 18 year old Lebron James wasn’t driving a Yellow H2 Hummer to SVSM while an “amateur” athlete.

It kind of makes sense being a CyberTruck - tall kid/lots of torque/power and hitting something immovable - the biomechanics of it all. He probably was able to get out of the truck himself - but hard hit to the head.

Hopefully he recovers with no lasting damage.

These kids are out of control. They were better off when they were poor they’re gonna have so many problems. Unbelievable. Don’t forget these kids have fifth grade education.
