Alijah Arenas, star USC recruit and son of Gilbert Arenas, placed in induced coma after serious crash involving a Cybertruck, report says
Alijah Arenas, the son of former NBA player Gilbert Arenas, is in a coma after suffering a car crash involving a Tesla Cybertruck on Tuesday.
Arenas was in the vehicle when the car lost control near the corner of Corbin Avenue and Blythe Street in the San Fernando Valley around 4.56am, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Cybertruck reportedly struck a tree and a fire hydrant. Arenas, 18, was transported to a nearby hospital after officials pulled him from the wreckage. He's currently in stable condition.
Drugs and alcohol did not play a factor in the crash, the outlet reported. ESPN was the first to report on the crash and Arenas' condition.
Officials later took the car to a tow yard, where it burst into flames. A Fire Hazard Mat team responded to an incident involving hazardous materials.
The teenager is a star basketball player at Chatsworth High School and is a member of USC 's incoming class.
He led his high school to the CIF Division II state championship game in March. He left the institution as the all-time City Section scoring leader, with over 3,000 points and is a top-10 recruit in the university's incoming class.
The teen's mother asked her Instagram followers for their prayers earlier in the day and his father cancelled plans to host his online show.
The university declined to comment on Arenas' condition because he's a prospective student and has not formally joined the basketball team. He was set to play a major role for the Trojans and had recently turned down offers from Kentucky, Kansas and Arizona.

Who is Angry Ginge? Huge net worth, real name and Luke Littler incident
Who is Angry Ginge? Huge net worth, real name and Luke Littler incident Soccer Aid 2025 is live on our screens on Sunday night on ITV with a host of celebrities involved Angry Ginge training ahead of Soccer Aid. (Image: Bradley Collyer/PA Wire. ) Internet sensation Angry Ginge is playing for England at Soccer Aid this weekend. The 23-year-old Twitch streamer will be joined by the likes of Jermain Defoe, Steph Houghton, Toni Duggan, Aaron Lennon, Jill Scott, Sam Quek and Sir Mo Farah. The Three lions coaching staff is made up of heavyweight boxing royalty Tyson Fury, iconic football manager Harry Redknapp, actor Vicky McClure and former goalkeeper David James. Ginge and his team-mates will be going up against a World XI, who will feature the likes of Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci. Legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel will manage World XI against England, with the match kicking off at 7.30pm on Sunday, June 15. The event will take place at United's iconic Old Trafford ground, with Soccer Aid revealing the stadium had officially sold out on Friday afternoon. Historically, Soccer Aid featured celebrities and film stars from around the world. However, the growth of social media has seen a new generation of stars, originating from the internet, who have now captured a generation and been included in the line-ups. Angry Ginge undoubtedly comes under that category, being one of the most influential creators in the industry. Here's everything you need to know about him. Article continues below Who is Angry Ginge? Angry Ginge is a Manchester-born gaming streamer who has risen to fame in the past four years. His YouTube channel alone has more than 800,000 subscribers, with a further 1.2million on streaming website Twitch. On Instagram, it's another 1.2million, with more than 200,000 on X, formerly Twitter, and almost two million on TikTok. His real name is Morgan Burtwhistle, something which he revealed on a Baller League video in April. Micah Richards' reaction to the name caused the clip to go viral on social media, with the former Manchester City full-back responding hysterically. He regularly makes jokes about his ginger hair and would also be classed as a social media influencer, with regular content across his social channels, on top of the streaming. He started streaming properly in 2021, after being inspired by FIFA (now EAFC - football game) streamer Castro1021. In his early days, clips from his streams would regularly go viral on TikTok, with his emotional reactions to moments on FIFA. Net worth Multiple sources claim Angry Ginge's net worth to be more than £1million, which wouldn't be an unreasonable estimate given the success he's enjoyed in recent times. On Twitch, subscribers can leave donations for his content, with subscriptions varying in price depending on the tier you choose. Although none of his earnings are specifically available in the public domain, top streamers like Angry Ginge can earn hundreds of thousands per month from their fans. When you work adverts into that, the revenue from streaming increases massively. The Salford-born influencer will earn a considerable amount of money from his big YouTube account, which has almost one million subscribers. There are further advert and sponsorship opportunities here too. Luke Littler relationship Angry Ginge is very good friends with darts superstar Luke Littler. Littler, who is a perfect example of the demographic that Angry Ginge attracts, plays games with the streamer on Twitch, regularly playing EAFC's 'Pro Clubs' mode with other popular UK internet celebrities. The pair have good chemistry, with many clips doing the rounds on social media. At the end of 2024, during a stream between the pair, Littler accidentally revealed a previously unknown love interest. Article continues below "I'm gonna try and get some sleep because I am so tired," said an unknown voice in the background of Littler's stream. Angry Ginge immediately reacted: "Who the f*** is that? Who's that Luke? Who's that Luke? He's had a rotter there. Luke's had a rotter. Let her get to bed, Luke, come on." Littler saw the funny side and the clip went viral on social media, further adding to their friendship and chemistry. The pair will star together on Celebrity Gogglebox on Friday night.

Chloe Kelly jets off on sun-kissed holiday as Arsenal star takes well-deserved break before Euro 2025 with Lionesses
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHLOE KELLY is relishing a dream break - before trying to complete a dream double. The Lionesses forward jetted off with Manchester United defender Gabby George and their partners for sun-drenched hols ahead of Euro 2025. 10 Chloe Kelly is making the most of downtime before the Euros Credit: Instagram 10 Kelly shared 10 blissful snaps on Instagram Credit: Instagram 10 She went with fellow WSL superstar Gabby George Credit: Instagram 10 Husband Scott Moore was also by Kelly's side Credit: Instagram 10 The Women's Champions League hero wore a range of cool outfits Credit: Instagram Loanee Kelly helped Arsenal to the Champions League crown last month, ending Barcelona's bid for three such titles in a row. Now she's making the most of brief downtime before England's defence of their Euro 2022 glory begins in Switzerland on July 5. Kelly, 27, shared shimmering shots of a blissful getaway with her 955,000 Instagram followers. She wrote: "UNO of Summer so far... things are hotting up pre Euros." George replied to Kelly's message by saying "Love you" - also adding a love heart. To which 52-cap star Kelly responded: "Love you girl - 4 amigos." George, 28, who is Jesse Lingard's cousin, failed to make Sarina Wiegman's 23-women squad for next month's Euros. But she did beat Kelly in one sporty, time-honoured holiday event. 10 Chloe Kelly jets off on sun-kissed holiday as Arsenal star takes well-deserved break before Euro 2025 with Lionesses, Credit: Instagram One fan snuck into the pair's online love-in by asking: "Need to know who won mini golf." Kelly answered that George had "fluked it". Chloe Kelly stuns Arsenal fans as she heads straight to local PUB after Champions League trophy parade But the Red Devils' centre-back offered a different interpretation of the event as she posted: "Precision I call it" - followed by a laughing emoji. The footballing friends had earlier shared clips of their dancing, having booked a sea-view villa with a swimming pool. And Kelly will hope mini-golf defeat is the only blot on her golden summer. She shone for the Gunners after joining on loan from Manchester City in January. Kelly is now in talks over a permanent switch to Arsenal after being released by City at the end of her contract - and chasing second-successive Euros joy under Wiegman. Her online fans gratefully took in the 10 summery pics she posted on Instagram - some in a bikini, many with husband Scott Moore and all with a beaming smile. One admirer wrote: "There's def something about Chloe" and another described her as "angelic". A third called her "as beautiful as a goddess perfectly made by nature and an extraordinary soccer player". The Lionesses beat Portugal 6-0 then lost 2-1 to Spain in Nations League games a fortnight ago. Next comes a single warm-up game against Jamaica at the King Power Stadium on June 29 before the Euros opener with France six days later. That's followed by England's last two group games as they face the Netherlands on July 9 and Wales four days later. 10 Kelly and George were splash hits after showing off their dance moves Credit: TikTok 10 Kelly is a massive hit on Instagram and a fashion icon Credit: Getty 10 She hailed victory over Barcelona in the Lisbon showpiece last month Credit: Getty
