LeBron and Bronny James made history on court. Now they may have to appear in court over alleged car crash.
LOS ANGELES — Hours after they became the first father-son duo to share an NBA court together, LeBron and Bronny James were sued for their alleged involvement in a 2022 car crash in the desert town of Littlerock in the Antelope Valley.
A lawsuit filed Wednesday morning in Los Angeles County Superior Court claims the Lakers teammates “negligently owned, controlled, repaired, entrusted, maintained and operated an automobile as to cause it to, and it did, become involved in an accident or collision” that caused injury to the plaintiffs and damage to the vehicle they were in.
According to the complaint, plaintiffs Kiara McGillen and April Lopez were in a car on Pearblossom Highway at or near the intersection of 87th Street on Nov. 13, 2022, when the alleged incident occurred. McGillen was the driver, but the vehicle is owned by Lopez.
The Antelope Valley office of the California Highway Patrol was unable to find a report filed on that date regarding an accident at that location. The lawsuit does not indicate whether CHP was notified of the incident.
