- [Telsey] All right let's
kick things off with Lil Yachty
who had a pretty rough day yesterday,
totaling his very expensive sports car.
I'll let Jordyn Rolling fill you in.
- [Jordyn] On Tuesday morning,
the 22-year-old rapper
tweeted, "So thankful for my life.
"Never take it for granted."
Before sharing two images of
his red 2020 Ferrari 488 total.
According to local media outlets,
while driving on the
freeway, a mid heavy rainfall
Yachty sports car hydroplaned
hitting the left median wall,
before spinning out across seven lanes
and eventually smashing into the shoulder.
TMZ reports, emergency
crews arrived on the scene
where the Oprah's bank
account artist walked away,
relatively unscathed with only
minor injuries to his arm.
It's unclear if he visited the hospital,
but TMZ writes "Yachty
received a citation for driving
"too fast, given the weather,
"failing to stay in the lane
and driving in the car poli."
He also apparently received
a warning for driving
without having his license on him.
