Hornets guard LaMelo Ball crashed his custom Hummer in Uptown Charlotte on Wednesday.

Video of the collision, obtained by WSOC-TV, shows Ball wrecked his pricey ride after he attempted to turn left in an intersection while a gray Kia sedan coming in the opposite direction tried to go straight.

The driver’s side front tire of Ball’s vehicle was ripped off in the accident, and the Kia sustained significant front-end damage as well.

Ball, however, reportedly appeared to be OK after he exited his car. The other driver’s condition is unknown.

Both vehicles needed to be towed from the scene. Ball, according WSOC-TV, was ultimately picked up in a Lamborghini and left the area.

Ball’s Hummer is famous — it’s a 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 that was tricked out by Dreamworks Motorsports in an effort to make it resemble his signature Puma shoes.

It features a desert camo wrap on the outside with bright orange accents highlighting the interior.

Ball — a Southern California native — has been seen driving the vehicle around Charlotte for several years.

Neither the Hornets nor Ball have publicly commented on Wednesday’s crash.
