Footage of Warriors' Stephen Curry's car crash released




Golden State Warriors fans were forced to hold their breath once again on Friday morning when it comes to the health of All-Star point guard Stephen Curry as the former league MVP was forced to deal with much more than the groin injury which he has been working his way back from while traveling to the team's practice facility.


Just days after the incident occurred, TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the wreck itself and it proves just how lucky Curry was to walk away from the accident without any physical injuries as it was just his Porsche which took the bulk of the damage.


According to a report from ABC7News.com, Curry was involved in a multi-car accident slight before 9:00 a.m. PT on Friday morning and there was damage done to his vehicle as a result.


The crash happened just before 9 a.m. on Westbound Highway 24 on the Oakland side of the Caldecott Tunnel.


A California Highway Patrol spokesman said Curry was hit twice; first a car spun out and hit him, then a second car rear-ended him. Curry's Porsche was damaged. But everyone, including Curry, appears to be okay.


Later in the day, the California Highway Patrol released an official statement on the matter and explained exactly what happened which led to Curry's Porsche being hit on two separate occasions on Friday morning.


This morning at 848 hours, the CHP Oakland Area was dispatched to a traffic collision with property-damage on W/B SR-24, east of SR-13. After officers arrived on scene, it was determined Steph Curry had been involved in two separate property damage only traffic collisions at this location. Mr. Curry was driving a black Porsche sedan in the number one lane when a driver in a silver Lexus sedan lost control of their vehicle and made an unsafe lane change from the number four lane to the number one lane, and collided with Mr. Curry’s vehicle. After the collision, Mr. Curry stopped his vehicle in the center median to wait for assistance. Approximately ten minutes later, at 855 hours, while Mr. Curry was stopped in the center median, the driver of a black Honda civic traveling in the number one lane, approaching Mr. Curry’s location, lost control of their vehicle and veered into the center median and collided with the concrete wall and then Mr. Curry’s vehicle. No injuries were reported or claimed in either traffic collision. No impairment was detected from any of the parties involved and no arrests were made. Thankfully, everyone walked away uninjured due to everyone wearing their seatbelts. We would like to remind everyone to slow it during inclement weather.


While Curry remains sidelined with a groin injury, the franchise is hopeful that the two-time league MVP will be able to return to the lineup during the team's upcoming road trip.
