Police responded to a call just after 5 a.m. April 24 after the teenager was involved in a single-vehicle collision after the cybertruck collided with a tree and 'possibly' a fire hydrant, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement to NBC News 4 Los Angeles.

Prized Iowa women's basketball signee named to 2025 McDonald's All American Game roster
While the current Iowa women's basketball (13-7, 3-6 Big Ten) season has seen its trials and tribulations, the future just got a bit brighter as future Hawkeye guard Addie Deal was named to the 2025 McDonald's All American Game roster. Deal becomes just the fourth Hawkeye to earn the impressive distinction out of high school, joining Caitlin Clark (2020), Samantha Logic (2011), and Johanna Solverson (2002). The five-star recruit out of Mater Dei High School (Calif.) officially signed with the Hawkeyes in November, headlining Iowa's impressive 2025 recruiting class. In early January, Deal surpassed 1,700 career points at the West Coast Jamboree. Deal now has more than 1,700 points, 600 rebounds, 400 assists, and 325 steals for her high school career. The prized signee will be in Iowa City on Sunday alongside many high-ranking recruits to witness Caitlin Clark's jersey retirement ahead of the Hawkeyes clash vs. No. 4 USC. The 48th annual McDonald's Girls High School All-American game will be played on April 1, 2025, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

NBA》挑戰歷史首見三連霸紀錄！McClung將續戰本季灌籃大賽
過去兩季都贏得灌籃大賽冠軍的麥克隆(Mac McClung)，不久前傳出將參加本季大賽，挑戰過去還沒有人辦到過的灌籃大賽三連霸紀錄，如此一來本屆大賽將由麥克隆、馬刺隊新秀凱索(Stephon Castle)、公牛隊新秀布澤里斯(Matas Buzelis)及公鹿隊後衛傑克森(Andre Jackson Jr.)等四人競爭。 Orlando Magic's Mac McClung has committed to the NBA Slam Dunk Contest at All-Star weekend in San Francisco, sources tell ESPN. He will aim for a dunk contest three-peat with the four-man field set: McClung, Stephon Castle, Matas Buzelis, Andre Jackson Jr. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) January 27, 2025 現年26歲的麥克隆，近年來幾乎算是灌籃大賽的限定角色，他過去兩個賽季總共僅在NBA出賽2場，本季也僅在魔術隊打了1場，多數時間都在發展聯盟拼戰，他在2023年才成為史上第一個贏得灌籃大賽冠軍的發展聯盟球員，上季則以領先群雄的場均25.7分獲選為發展聯盟MVP。 I hate when people act like the Dunk Contest isn't good anymore when Mac McClung gave us this the past 2 years, most on his first attempt — Steve Helwick (@s_helwick) January 27, 2025 去年完成灌籃大賽二連霸後，麥克隆在受訪時表示不確定是否會繼續參戰，如今再度接受聯盟邀請，似乎也代表他已經做好準備，在聯盟歷史上還沒有人能連續三年稱霸這個賽事，僅有羅賓森(Nate Robinson)曾在2006、2009及2010年三度稱冠。 不少球迷都相當期待體能勁爆的麥克隆今年會拿出什麼新法寶，然而他的對手也不是省油的燈，凱索本季已經在例行賽場上展現不少精彩灌籃，過去也曾和布澤里斯在高中灌籃大賽較勁過，都展現出讓人眼睛一亮的創意。 Heading into tonight's McDonald's All American Game, Matas Buzelis is already receiving strong interest from several brands on a potential shoe @DraftExpress projected #1 pick of the 2024 NBA Draft will sign with the G-League Ignite, and can sign a full shoe deal now. — Nick DePaula (@NickDePaula) March 29, 2023

The 48th annual McDonald's All American Game is on April 1 in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. McDowell played AAU basketball for CyFair Elite with the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 class, Aaliyah Chavez. In July, Chavez announced on social media that South Carolina is among her final six schools and she has still not committed as of Jan. 27. CyFair Elite Sports is a non-profit in Texas and is a Nike basketball affiliate. McDowell competed for Brazil in the 2024 FIBA U18 Women's AmeriCup, leading her team with 14.8 points per game.

On the current roster, there are 10 All-Americans. Everyone but Chloe Kitts, Adhel Tac, and Sakima Walker were named All-Americans though both Tac and Kitts graduated high school early, which eliminated the possibility of their being selected and playing in the game in the spring of their respective senior seasons.
