UNC’s Luke Maye flips car on I-85, walks away unhurt

Posted Jun 9, 2017
Luke Maye, one of the stars of UNC’s run to the 2017 NCAA basketball championship, was involved in a scary car accident Thursday that his father Mark Maye said ultimately only gave his son a few bumps and bruises. “He did run into an 18-wheeler and spun his car around, landing on a bank beside the road. Damaged the car pretty bad, but he (Luke) said he feels perfectly fine.” (Charlotte Observer)
