LaMelo Ball was in no mood to be seen after his car crash in Charlotte … new video obtained by TMZ Sports shows the Hornets hooper quickly dipping into a Lamborghini that pulled up to the accident scene to pick him up, as his ’22 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 sat wheel-less in the street.
An eyewitness captured the video from a building overlooking uptown Charlotte on Wednesday, not long after Ball’s big truck collided with a Kia Sedan at an intersection in the heart of the North Carolina city.
We’re told the black Lamborghini pulled up about 10 minutes after the crash … and there’s no time wasted. The clip shows a man in a black puffer vest with an orange sweatshirt open the passenger-side door of the vehicle before LaMelo quickly emerges from his Hummer and slips into the waiting $250K-plus Lambo SUV.
Medics were dispatched to the scene for one person who suffered minor injuries … though outwardly, it doesn’t appear it was Ball, who appeared unharmed (he was also driving the much larger vehicle).
Both cars were towed from the scene.

The 24-year-old NBA star has not commented on the accident.
LaMelo’s whip isn’t just your old run-of-the-mill Hummer. It was hooked up by Dreamworks Motorsports, and features a desert-camo 3M wrap, custom paint, an orange leather interior and a LaFrance-patterned Alcantara insert.
The SUV also has a JL audio system, Suntek Window film, 24×12 DW forged one-off design wheels, and under-seat and under-body LED accent lighting.
Ball — who Charlotte drafted with the 3rd overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft — may now have to carpool to the Hornets’ first game back from the All-Star Break later this afternoon … as they welcome Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets to town for the contest.
