Overview

• On April 24 in Reseda, California, the 18-year-old’s Tesla Cybertruck veered into a fire hydrant and tree after its steering wheel became unresponsive
• Arenas spent nearly ten minutes trapped in the burning vehicle, fighting smoke inhalation and repeatedly attempting to break the bullet-resistant windows
• Bystanders eventually smashed a window to pull him to safety, and he was hospitalized for six days in a medically induced coma due to severe smoke inhalation
• In late June, at his first press conference since the crash, Arenas described flickering keypads, unresponsive lights and a locked steering wheel before the impact
• He has taken responsibility for the incident, fully recovered without major injuries and has enrolled at USC, where he has already joined summer basketball practices
