New UPDATE:** According to police, Jamar Champ was driving a Tesla Cybertruck into downtown when it suddenly lost control and crashed late Tuesday night, leaving behind a chaotic scene that drew dozens of emergency responders. The accident happened just after 10:15 p.m. near the intersection of West Fifth and Main Street, an area often busy with evening traffic and pedestrians. 

Witnesses reported hearing a loud screech followed by the crunch of metal as the vehicle struck a light pole and then collided with a parked SUV before coming to a stop.Police said preliminary evidence suggests speed may have been a factor, though they are also investigating whether a mechanical or electronic malfunction could have contributed. 

The Cybertruck, which sustained heavy front-end damage, was towed from the scene for inspection by crash reconstruction experts. Jamar Champ, the driver, was taken to a nearby hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to authorities. No other major injuries were reported, though one bystander was treated for minor cuts from flying debris.

Officers temporarily closed off multiple downtown streets as investigators worked to piece together the sequence of events. The incident has sparked fresh conversations about road safety and the performance of newer electric vehicles in urban conditions. Social media footage of the aftermath showed the crumpled Cybertruck surrounded by flashing lights and onlookers as crews worked late into the night.

Police said the investigation remains active, and they plan to review surveillance footage from surrounding businesses to determine exactly what caused the loss of control. Meanwhile, friends and community members have expressed relief that Jamar survived the crash and are hoping for his swift recovery as the full circumstances continue to unfold.
