It’s been quite a week for the Arenas family, but they’re finally breathing a sigh of relief. After Alijah Arenas was involved in a terrifying car crash in LA that left him in a coma, the young athlete has returned home, where he’s continuing his recovery. And let’s say his parents, Gilbert Arenas and Laura Govan, made sure his homecoming was one he would remember.

Gilbert & Laura Share Alijah Returning Home

On Thursday, May 1, Gilbert and Laura hit up Instagram with a joint post that had us all in our feelings. The video showed the 18-year-old strolling through the corridor, headed to his bedroom, completely unaware of the surprise waiting for him. When he finally peeped inside? His eyes widened. Alijah’s bedroom was decked out to celebrate his release from the hospital. Gilbert didn’t hold back in the caption either, pouring out gratitude to the good Samaritans, Bryant, Jose, and Robert, who pulled his son from the wreckage. He wrote, “Alijah can’t wait to meet you guys.”

He also gave a major shout-out to everyone who held it down with prayers and love during Alijah’s recovery. But y’all know Gilbert had to sprinkle in some humor, quoting Alijah, who once told his friends: “If I’m ever in a coma, don’t bring flowers. Bust in rapping ‘I might swerve, bend that corner, woah’ by Gelo like it’s the national anthem.” And then he added, “Because nothing screams perfect timing like saying ‘Swerve on that corner, woah’… right after you actually did. Into a tree. Into a hospital stay.”

How Alijah Arenas Ended Up In A Car Crash

The USC student was driving his Tesla Cybertruck back from the gym early Thursday morning when he lost control, smashing into a fire hydrant and a tree. As The Shade Room previously reported, the crash was so severe that it caused Alijah’s car to catch fire. That’s when bystanders Bryant, Jose, and Robert stepped in and pulled him out just in time. But the smoke inhalation was so severe that doctors had placed them in an induced coma. By Friday, April 25, Alijah was out of the coma, and by day three, he was already walking and talking. He was officially released on April 30 to continue his recovery from smoke inhalation in the comfort of his home.
