Video After The Jump
Gervonta Davis, the two-division champion who is one of boxing's rising stars, was indicted Monday in the Circuit Court of Baltimore on 14 counts of various traffic violations related to a hit-and-run crash last fall.
A native of Baltimore, the 26-year-old Davis was involved in a crash in the early morning hours of Nov. 5 after reportedly celebrating his birthday at a downtown club.
Among the 14 charges, Davis has been cited for failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving bodily injury, failure to render assistance to an injured person & driving with both a suspended & revoked license. All are considered misdemeanors in Maryland with the most serious carrying up to a year in jail.
Court documents from the Baltimore City State's Attorney Office reported that Davis, who was driving a 2020 Lamborghini Uris, ran a red light at 1:47 a.m. ET & struck the front passenger side of a 2004 Toyota Solara. Video from a nearby convenience store saw Davis' car collide into the store's fence & became "disabled."
Witness accounts & video gathered during the investigation also showed that a black Camaro arrived at the scene shortly after the crash before passengers began transferring items from the Lamborghini to the Camaro. Davis & an unidentified female were also captured on camera fleeing the scene in the Camaro.
The Solara's airbags deployed and the vehicle was "destroyed. The 4 occupants of the car were transported to the hospital as a result of the crash. Gil Amaral, an attorney for the injured driver, says his client suffered "fairly serious injuries."
Leaving the scene of a crash can result in felony charges punishable by up to five years in prison, but only for a crash which produces serious injuries.
Davis (24-0, 23 KOs) currently holds the WBA super featherweight title & the WBA "regular" lightweight title.
