WJZ, a subsidiary of CBS in Baltimore, reported that WBA super featherweight and lightweight champion Gervonta Davis had an accident in South Baltimore. The news reports that the accident happened around 1:53 am Thursday. Baltimore police arrived at the scene of the accident involving multiple vehicles. Several people with minor injuries turned up at the scene, and one was taken to the regional hospital.
According to the police, one of the cars drove through a red light and hit another car, after which he fled the scene. Police did not tell WJZ if Davis was at the scene or driving the car, but the source said Davis owns the car, which allegedly ran through a red light.
Davis scored his most important career win last Saturday in Texas when he knocked out Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round with a crushing uppercut.
The fight marked Davis' debut as a headliner on a pay-per-view broadcast, and sources indicate that the event earned a higher-than-expected ratings.
