Boxing great suffers another horrific car accident with alleged underage driver

Errol Spence Jr. was the victim of a crash involving two vehicles on Saturday

IBF, WBC, and WBA welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. was involved in a third car accident on Saturday night, allegedly involving an underage driver.

The 32-year-old boxer was involved in a single-car crash in October 2019 when he was ejected from his Ferrari and suffered extensive injuries, calling his future in the ring into question.

After successfully making a comeback in late 2020, he received a three-day jail sentence and was ordered to pay $3,400 in court costs for pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated in June 2022.

Shortly before taking the WBA strap off Yordenis Ugas in April, Spence revealed that he was involved in a second car accident around three months after his first near-fatal incident. He claims to have been rear-ended, and was again the victim on Saturday as an alleged underage driver smashed into him in the Dallas area according to BoxingScene.

Spence’s SUV was hit head-on by the unlicensed driver, a 14-year-old who took his parents’ car out for a ride and ran a red light.

Spence escaped relatively unscathed, though he complained of having injured his leg during an Instagram Live session while waiting for the authorities to arrive at the scene and conduct an investigation.
