Alijah Arenas, son of former NBA star Gilbert Arenas and a top college basketball prospect, was hospitalized after crashing a Tesla Cybertruck on Thursday morning in Los Angeles, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the situation.
Arenas, who had committed to the University of Southern California earlier this year, hit a tree and a fire hydrant while driving the Cybertruck, the source said, shortly before 5 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
A photo of the crash site showed a totaled silver Cybertruck wrapped around a tree, with the windshield crumpled and driver side windows blown out.
The car is registered to Gilbert Arenas through September of this year, per the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
Arenas, 18, was a top college recruit and was poised to be one of basketball's rising stars next season, with offers from Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky and Louisville, according to ESPN.
