Gilbert Arenas’ wife, Melli Monaco, took to Instagram and shared a major health update on her stepson, Alijah Arenas. Alijah was involved in an accident on Thursday morning when his Tesla Cybertruck veered off the road before crashing into a tree and a fire hydrant. Arenas’ vehicle was engulfed in flames following the crash, but people who witnessed the crash were able to pull him out of the car.
After he was rescued, Alijah was taken to a hospital where he was placed in a medically induced coma due to smoke inhalation. It seems like the 18-year-old is already doing better, as is evident from his stepmother, Melli Monaco’s, Instagram story.
“I just know the comeback About to be 🗣️CRAAAAZY,” Monaco wrote.
