Michael B. Jordan's Ferrari Crash Under Investigation After New Video of Wreck Surfaces
New video seemed to show the actor was racing another car before the crash.
Michael B. Jordan's car crash from earlier this month is under investigation after a new video has circulated, seemingly showing the actor's Ferrari racing another vehicle before the accident, RadarOnline.com has learned.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told his outlet that officers are aware of the footage and will study it to prove whether Jordan was behind the wheel of the blue Ferrari 812 Superfast.
"Detectives are aware of the video of the crash at Sunset and Beachwood and are investigating if there is any possible negligence by the driver. We do not provide the name of the person involved unless they are arrested and booked into the system," the representative told RadarOnline.com on Friday.
The Creed III actor could face possible charges. TMZ was the first to report the news.
Jordan's $420,000 Ferrari 812 Superfast appeared to race another red Ferrari in the video.
As RadarOnline.com reported, new footage of the December 2 crash has surfaced, showing the blue Ferrari, owned by Jordan, speeding down Sunset Blvd. alongside a red sports car at approximately 11:30 PM. The Creed III actor appeared to lose control before trying to correct himself and swerving into a parked Kia.
Jordan's $420,000 Ferrari 812 Superfast was wrecked in the accident, as was the Kia. Photos obtained by RadarOnline.com showed "substantial damage" to both vehicles, with the front panel of the Hollywood star's passenger side completely ripped off. The driver-side of the Kia also took a massive beating. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the accident.
The LAPD responded to the scene and conducted an initial investigation.
The actor could face charges depending on the LAPD's investigation, which RadarOnline.com has been told is still ongoing.
According to the authorities, there were no indications that Jordan was impaired by drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash — but the officers did not perform a field sobriety test on the actor.
When they asked Jordan what happened, he allegedly didn't give an explanation. He was not arrested.
"I heard a loud crash and rushed outside to see what had happened," a local resident said of the crash. "I saw a blue Ferrari and a similar-colored Kia with visible damage. It was clear that they had collided with considerable force."

Detectives opened the investigation after discovering the tape of the accident.
"It was an actual accident," a tipster told Daily Mail in Jordan's defense. "Michael was annoyed that he ruined his car, but that can get fixed. He was, and is, embarrassed about it all as he accidentally had his foot on the gas and didn't brake in time."
"One thing led to another and the parked car was where it was, and all the puzzle pieces just landed in an unfortunate way. He is happy nobody was hurt," the source said.
Jordan has not been charged with a crime, but that could all change pending the active investigation.
Jordan, known for his roles in films like Black Panther and the Creed franchise, has not released a statement regarding the accident at this time.
