The 18-year-old was able to open his eyes after being in a coma due to a serious car crash in a Tesla Cybertruck.

Alijah was deemed stable at the scene, but he was transported to a local hospital and was briefly placed into a medically induced coma due to smoke inhalation. The family said in a statement that Alijah wrote on a piece of paper that he remembered the smoke from the crash and asked, “Did anyone get hurt?” after he woke up the following day.

Alijah Arenas, the Southern California basketball recruit who was involved in a fiery vehicle accident, is out of an induced coma, his family said in a statement Friday.
