Michael B. Jordan Tears Apart His Ferrari In Crash With Parked Kia
Jalopnik ^ | Dec 4, 2023 | By Lawrence Hodge

The actor slammed his 812 Superfast into a Kia Niro over the weekend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being mistaken for a celebrity is not unheard of in LA, especially when you and that celebrity both have exquisitely ripped bods. Case in point, I’ve been mistaken for Michael B. Jordan a number of times and, usually, I’d gladly trade places with the actor, but maybe not on Sunday when he crashed a nearly half a million dollar Ferrari into a parked car.

TMZ reports that Jordan was in Hollywood around 11:30 on December 3. He was driving his blue $429,000 Ferrari 812 Superfast until he slammed into a Kia Niro that was parked alongside the street. Luckily, according to TMZ, other than the Kia and Ferrari, there were no other injuries or damage.

The LAPD responded and found no signs of Michael being impaired by drugs or alcohol. Cops did not perform a field sobriety test.

There were no injuries or damage to property, other than the Kia and the Ferrari. LAPD told Michael to fill out a police report online.

Sources who were on the scene told TMZ that the LAPD questioned Jordan, wanting to know just what the hell would cause him to crash into a parked car. Jordan offered no explanation though. TMZ even reached out to Jordan’s team for a comment on the situation and got nothing. Jordan stayed on the scene, with his back turned the whole time. I’m sure he was pissed or embarrassed.

Sadly though it looks as both the 812 and the Niro are totaled.

I keep thinking he’s Denzel’s son, but if he were, his last name would be Washington.

So, no, I don’t know either.

I know a couple that got a windfall through inheritance. It all came from a lawsuit. Anyway, great couple but the first thing he did was buy a brand new Corvette. 3 kids and he buys a Corcette. 😂

I lived not far from where the Eagle Computer president died in that crash. It was a huge local story.

That as 40 years ago. Wow.

Also laughable that he scored only $9 million in his IPO

That’s an example of a design where the body of the car is designed to absorb the energy of the impact to minimize the energy absorbed into the bodies of the occupants.

Of course they are dealing with the extreme example here which did save the life of the driver.

By the way, here's a story about a guy who made big money one day, and that same day bought a Ferrari to celebrate coming into money, and that very night, fatally crashing that Ferarri:

Computer executive Dennis Barnhart died in an auto crash

I read the story> This guy was an ex Navy PILOT!

You would think someone like him would learn how to drive something like that before doing something Stupid!
