Can you do me a quick favor, internet stranger? Remind me to pray to the God Errol Spence Jr. prays to because that’s the God that will allow a man to escape a sure death. K thanks!

The IBF and WBC welterweight boxing champion is reportedly in the intensive care unit and in ‘serious condition‘ at Methodist Dallas Medical Center after being involved in a scary one-car accident in Dallas at 3 am this morning.

The 29-year-old, who is 26-0 in his professional career, was not wearing a seatbelt his white Ferrari veered over the center median and flipped multiple times while going at high speeds.

A slowed down version of the crash:

Here is a depressing video of two drivers slowly driving through the wreckage while Spence lay on the ground after being ejected from the car.

The car was damn vertical at one point:

Spence is said to have suffered serious, but non life-threatening injuries, which is about as ideal as you could hope for in this situation.

Premier Boxing Champions spokesman Tim Smith told ESPN: “The doctors are monitoring his condition, but his injuries are not life-threatening. We will have further updates as the doctors update his condition. We’re all wishing the best for Errol.”

Update: critical condition for broken teeth? Hmm?

The boxer’s last fight was a September 28th split decision victory over Shawn Porter, who took to Twitter to wish his opponent well.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
