New video of LaMelo Ball’s car accident surfaces
Charlotte Hornets rush hour LaMelo Ball was recently involved in a terrible car accident. Fortunately, reports indicate that no one was injured. A new video has surfaced showing a new angle of the accident.
In the footage originally shared on Instagram, you can see the tire on the driver’s side of Ball’s car pop up now after hitting another vehicle. It’s not entirely clear whose fault it was, but it appears the 24-year-old security guard was trying to swerve, while the other driver rolled into the middle of the lane.

Ball has a bit of a bad driving history. So much so that a a compilation clip of his driving skills went viral back in 2024. He has a history of running red lights and swerving into the street in the middle of traffic. While Wednesday’s crash may not have been his fault, the six-year NBA veteran is a notoriously bad driver.

LaMelo Ball was not injured, nor was anyone else involved in the crash in Uptown Charlotte. That means Ball is expected to be played for the Hornets on Thursday when the team takes on the Houston Rockets. It will be the club’s first game since the All-Star break.
Zvezda’s point guard has played 45 games so far this season. However, Ball has a bit of a downer for the rest of his career. He enters Thursday’s contest averaging 19.3 points, 4.8 rebounds (career low), 7.4 assists (tied career low) and 1.1 steals (tied career low) per game. He is also shooting 40.1% from the field (career low) and 36.3% from beyond the three-point line.
