San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan crashed his $240,000 Porsche 911 GT3 RS on a Texas highway last weekend, according to TMZ Sports.
Details of the Accident
The San Antonio Police Department reported that the crash happened on Saturday, August 24 at the I-10 and Loop 1604 intersection. Sochan was driving his lime green 2019 sports car when he lost control and hit the left side of a guard rail. It’s unclear if his insurance will cover the damages since they usually only pay if itโs not the driverโs fault.
