Footage of the aftermath of the crash shows Spence's mangled Ferrari being loaded into a tow truck. He is expected to survive.

The station also released video of the crash.

Spence was ejected from the vehicle. According to CBS Sports, Spence is the defending International Boxing Federation welterweight champion and claimed the World Boxing Council's welterweight belt last month. He's a Dallas native and a graduate of the University of North Texas. Porter said on Twitter he was praying for Spence. "You still have a lot of life to live after that".

"The only info we have is that he's in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries", said Tim Smith, a spokesman for Premier Boxing Champions, which represents Spence. He is now in the intensive care unit of the hospital, however, it is not believed his injuries, at this time, are life-threatening. Seven years later, he's considered one of the top stars in boxing.

Spence was in intensive care but is expected to live after he crashed his Ferrari overnight. We don't have any further information at this time.

The 3 a.m. rollover Ferrari crash occurred on the morning of October 10, and it sent Spence to the hospital. His parents moved south when he was two-years-old at the time, per Dallas News.

CBSDFW said the driver was Errol Spence Jr., a Dallas boxing sensation.

The crash happened just after 3am after the vehicle travelled at a high speed and went over the central reservation.
