I am not sure if Spence Jr. is unlucky or lucky when it comes to car accidents.
This is the third accident he has had in the last four years, and thankfully he has been able to walk away from both of them.
Errol Spence Jr. has survived yet another car accident.
The undefeated WBA/WBC/IBF welterweight champion was the victim in a two-vehicle accident Saturday evening at an undisclosed location in the greater Dallas area. Spence’s SUV was hit head-on by an underage and unlicensed driver who ran a red light.
Spence escaped relatively unscathed, though he complained of a leg injury during an Instagram Live session capturing the immediate aftermath while awaiting nearby authorities to arrive and conduct an on-site investigation.
“The muthafucka hit me… fucked my leg up. It’s crazy,” Spence stated. “He ran the light. Always happen to me. I’ve seen him coming too. He ran right into me.”
The severity of Spence’s leg injury as well as exactly where the accident took place remains undetermined as this goes to publish.
The identity of the driver was not revealed, though BoxingScene.com has learned it was a 14-year-old who took his parents’ vehicle out for a ride. The unidentified driver ran a red light and was unaware of his surroundings when he struck Spence’s SUV, which was totaled in the accident.
“I seen him coming, going fast as hell,” Spence stated in disbelief. “He hit me head on. My car is all metal, heavy as hell. I’m just glad I didn’t have my kids in there with me. I ain’t worried about no damn car, shoot.”
Saturday’s scare marks at least the third car accident involving Spence dating back to October 2019. The unbeaten southpaw from Desoto, Texas survived a single-car crash in October 2019, suffering extensive injuries as he lost control and was ejected from his Ferrari. Spence pled guilty in June 2022 to driving while intoxicated (DWI) for which he received a three-day jail sentence and ordered to pay $3,400 in court costs.
