LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, have responded to the recent lawsuit accusing them crashing their car into two women on a highway in Littlerock, California in 2022. According to TMZ, the two Los Angeles Lakers stars "deny each and every allegation contained in the complaint." They addressed the accusation in legal docs obtained by the outlet on Tuesday.
In the lawsuit, the two women, April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillien, claim LeBron and Bronny “negligently owned, controlled, repaired, entrusted, maintained and operated an automobile as to cause it to, and it did, become involved in an accident or collision.” It also notes McGillen was driving at the time of the alleged crash, but Lopez is the owner of the vehicle. As for damages, they cite injuries that required medical treatment as well as the loss in value of the car. Lopez and McGillien filed the lawsuit back in October, the day after LeBron and Bronny shared the court for the first time as members of the Los Angeles Lakers. In the time since, Bronny has spent time in the G-League with the team's South Bay affiliate.
