Charlotte's LaMelo Ball not injured after 2-car crash in downtown Charlotte, AP source says

LaMelo Ball's custom Hummer lost a front wheel in the crash, and one person suffered minor injuries, according to Mecklenburg Emergency Medical Services.

  • On Wednesday, LaMelo Ball, Charlotte Hornets point guard, was involved in a two-car crash at Trade Street and North Tryon Street shortly before 5 p.m.
  • According to witnesses, Ball attempted a left turn onto the one-way Tryon Street and collided with a gray Kia sedan traveling east on Trade Street.
  • Footage and photos captured Ball exiting the Hummer and getting into a Lamborghini before leaving, and both vehicles were later towed.
  • A medic on scene reported one person with minor injuries, while the crash blocked streetcar tracks at Trade and Tryon, causing Gold Line delays and modified service between CTC and Sunnyside stations.
  • CMPD has not released who was driving or provided an official account, and no police report was immediately available; the Charlotte Hornets have not commented, while media compared it to Cam Newton's 2014 wreck.
