According to a law enforcement source, Arenas’ son crashed a Tesla Cyber Truck in Los Angeles today. Disturbing footage has emerged on social media, making the fans fear the worst.
According to a video uploaded online, Alijah was being rolled on the ground. However, what was concerning was the fact that he was placed in a puddle of water. This was because the Tesla he was driving apparently caught fire, and thus, the rescue officers had to rip him out of the burning vehicle.
