Los Angeles, California - The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has reportedly launched an investigation into actor Michael B. Jordan's recent car crash, following the emergence of a video showing his Ferrari allegedly racing another car. According to TMZ, authorities are determined to establish whether the 36-year-old star of "Creed III" was indeed driving the high-end sports car when it collided with a parked car in Hollywood on December 2.
Sources from the outlet reveal that if the LAPD concludes its investigation with findings of "criminal culpability," prosecutors may pursue potential criminal charges against Jordan. The investigation was prompted by a video that surfaced on Instagram, which depicted a red and blue Ferrari appearing to engage in a race along a busy stretch of Sunset Boulevard on the same night as the accident.
In the footage, the blue sports car can be seen veering left and then abruptly swerving right before colliding with a parked Kia. The video was captioned "Michael B. Jordan crashing out in Hollywood racing another Ferrari." The driver of the red Ferrari, identified as Tenshi Angel, spoke to Entertainment Tonight and shared his account of the events leading up to the crash.
Angel claimed that he and Jordan had been driving side by side, "just cruising," before revving their engines and accelerating as they approached the next block. He stated, "Honk[ed] three times. I took off, and that's what happened."
Initial reports from officials at the scene suggested that there were no signs of foul play or indications of driving under the influence. However, TMZ obtained photos showing extensive damage to both vehicles involved. Jordan's blue Ferrari had its right fender torn off, and one of its tires had been thrust several yards from the car. The Kia sustained a dented left side, with metal debris hanging from the impact caused by Jordan's expensive sports car.
Interestingly, TMZ mentions that Jordan did not provide any explanation to the police officers at the scene regarding the circumstances leading up to the crash. Now, as the LAPD conducts a thorough investigation into the matter, further details will likely emerge regarding the actor's potential legal consequences.
As of now, neither Michael B. Jordan nor his representatives have released any official statements regarding the incident. Stay tuned for updates as the investigation unfolds.
