19-year-old basketball prospect trapped in Tesla Cybertruck crash after steering wheel "went limp
Summary
Gilbert Arenas' son, Alijah, was involved in a near-fatal car crash on April 24 after the steering wheel in his Tesla Cybertruck "went limp," causing him to crash into a tree. The vehicle caught fire, and Alijah spent at least 10 minutes trapped inside before being rescued. Investigators found no signs of intoxication, and Alijah was placed in an induced coma following the crash. He inhaled a significant amount of smoke but did not sustain any broken bones. Good Samaritans helped free him from the car, which had shatter-resistant windows that were difficult to break. Alijah, a five-star basketball prospect committed to USC, is recovering from the incident.
