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.
Wow. That automobile is most emphatically destroyed.
Power of name is everything when questioned by the LAPD.
You or I would have been breathalyzed, given a drug test, and taken down to the station in cuffs...
Yes, and fair that I didn't mention that in my reply.
When you consider that kinetic energy goes up with the square of velocity, and some newbies are absolute and complete morons when driving a Corvette, taking it up to well over 100 MPH…
…well, there's only so much energy that can be dissipated without impacting the occupants.
By the way, the imbecile Las Vegas Raider wide receiver Henry Ruggs was drunkenly driving his Corvette at 156 MPH when he crashed into the rear of a Toyota RAV4. Ruggs and his passenger survived, the poor lady in the RAV4 didn't - and that may have been due to the fireball that erupted.
Modern cars are absolute miracles in how they protect us.
You bet. LAPD is known for “Hands off Hollywood” celebrities.
Recall these that golfer, Woods, was heading down from Palos Verdes, CA and totaled the vehicle. Single car collisions are ALWAYS red flags.
And he had a history of drugs, crashes etc, and no tests were performed on scene.
His looks like that too on the driver’s side
Except when they don't.
You think that black dysfunctional culture is a myth?
THAT is pretty damn disgusting.
I don’t know this guy from Adam but I grew up seeing blacks put top value on flashy expensive cars whether or not they could afford it.
It may not apply here, but don’t be like the Left and pretend there’s no such thing as black dysfunctional culture. The Left does that to keep blacks as their slaves as they did before slavery was illegal.
You think I hate blacks. I like them but hate their crime as a byproduct of their dysfunction. If you care about someone you confront their issues and don’t enable them as the left and maybe you do.
gotta watch out for those little Kias
they look like nothing but
they’re very sneaky
and aggressive
Wow, sliding sideways at a high speed. Practicing drifting?
No kidding. Broke right off. Maybe they took weight reduction a tad too far.
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
Please, please give me the race-based analysis of this Ferrari accident. I can't wait to hear what you have to blather.
The Creed movies, spinoffs of “Rocky”. He is reported to be in filing or soon to be on “I Am Legend 2” with Will Smith.
Looks more like a ‘vette than a Ferrari to me..
IKR???
“Nice way to generalize there.”
Native Unmarried birth rates:
Whites 30%, Asians 27%, Hispanic 57%, Blacks 77%.
Oh yes. Since there are some white and Asian babies born out of wedlock, no generalizations can be made.
on the KIA? prolly stock
Those poor Kia’s, always being singled out for carjacking, now as stationary targets for sports cars.
Oh, I saw the blue side panel and thought it must have been the Ferrari.
