Premier Boxing Champions spokesman Tim Smith also commented on the accident.

“Errol was in an accident, and his parents are with him at the hospital,” Smith said. “The doctors are monitoring his condition, but his injuries are not life-threatening. We will have further updates as the doctors update his condition.”

News of the crash broke around 3 a.m. local time in Dallas. Reports said a “high-profile person” was involved and Spence was eventually confirmed as the victim.

No other vehicles were involved in the crash, which police blamed partly on high speed. One can only hope that Spence Jr. makes a speedy and safe recovery from this accident.
