Former BET Host and “The Perfect Match” actor Terrence J is under investigation for allegedly crashing his car and leaving the scene of the accident.

According to the LAPD, on Tuesday they received a call at 12:30 AM that a McLaren sports car crashed into a tree on Ventura Blvd after hitting a parking meter. The Blast reported that the tow truck service found that the totalled sports car was registered to a Terrence Jenkins.

Eyewitnesses claim they saw a woman behind the wheel, thought to be Perkins’girlfriend Jasmine Sanders. Once the car crashed the woman and man in the passenger seat ran off. However, the model’s representative told PEOPLE Sanders was not involved.

“On behalf of our client, Jasmine Sanders, I would like to clarify that Ms. Sanders was not in the vehicle at the time of this morning’s accident and was in no way involved,” the rep told PEOPLE.

It still remains unclear if there were any injuries. The police are currently looking for surveillance video of the car accident.

Back in March, Jenkins shared a video to his Instagram of him showing off his new McLaren sports car. The caption of his video said, “Dark knight flo💨 @samsungmobileusa #withgalaxy.” The McLaren car in the video is identical to the car that was crashed into the tree.

If Jenkins is found guilty of the hit and run he could be possibly face jail time or a fine.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
