First responders arrived on the scene just before 5 am this morning.
A person named Corbin Williams shared photos and a video on X Thursday of a mangled Cybertruck that had crashed going south on Corbin Ave., just past Blythe St. It turned out that the video and photos were of Arenas’ Cybertruck.
Looks like a pretty solid impact, curtain airbags were deployed, and the side windows had to be broken out. Not sure if the owner knew about the manual door release.

There was a report saying Arenas’ Cybertruck had caught fire. According to Kartje, the vehicle caught fire after being transported to a nearby tow yard. So the fire occurred hours after the crash, and when Arenas was not in the vehicle.
Arenas is one of the top basketball prospects for the class of 2025. He averaged 30.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.2 steals per game this season for Chatsworth High School in California this year. The car crash took place about four miles southeast of Chatsworth High School. Arenas’ prep accomplishments led to him being named as a McDonald’s All-American. He has committed to playing college ball at USC.
