Sources tell CBS 11 News the driver of a Ferrari who was seriously injured in a rollover crash in Dallas is local boxing sensation Errol Spence, Jr.
The crash happened just after 3 a.m. on Riverfront Boulevard near I-30 near downtown and involved one vehicle.
According to police, the ve- hicle was going at a high rate
of speed in the northbound lanes in the 500 block of S. Riverfront Boulevard. The ve- hicle went over the center me- dian and flipped multiple times, ejecting the driver. Po- lice say he was not wearing a seatbelt.
Police say the driver was taken to the hospital in serious condition and is expected to survive. His identity was not
officially released but sources close to Spence confirmed he was involved in the crash.
Police are continuing to in- vestigate what exactly caused the crash.
Spence, a welterweight champion from DeSoto, is cur- rently 26-0 in his professional career and his latest match was against Shawn Porter on Sept. 28.
LA Sparks' GM Penny Toler Fired After Using The 'N-Word' In Locker Room Speech
Antonio Brown Accuser
Penny Toler’s long and storied career with the Los Angeles Sparks came to an abrupt end last Friday after re- ports that she had used the “n- word” in a post-game speech last month. Toler, who is black, was the team’s execu- tive vice president and general manager, serving in the latter role for 20 seasons.
The decision follows a league investigation into
19.
Of course, cussing out your
team after a disappointing performance isn’t an unusual move by any means, but Toler drew scrutiny for her use of racial epithets—namely, the n-word. Toler didn’t con- tradict claims that she had used the word during her locker room rant, only clarify- ing that she wasn’t referring to any of her players by the slur.

Britney Taylor, the trainer who accused the em- battled wide receiver of three sexual assaults including a vi- olent rape between 2017 and 2018, will refile the suit in Broward County, Fla, her at- torney, David Haas, wrote in a notice of voluntary dis- missal.
“Plaintiff states that no op- posing party has served an an- swer or a motion for summary judgement, and that this claim has not been dismissed before for any reason,” Haas wrote

in the dismissal with the Southern Florida U.S. District Court.
Taylor last month report- edly met with NFL investiga- tors. The league did not suspend the wideout who was with the Patriots for 11 days before being cut.
