LeBron James and his son Bronny James have been sued over a car crash that allegedly happened in November 2022, Report informs via PEOPLE.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the NBA father-son duo are accused of being the drivers at fault in a crash on November 13, 2022, in Littlerock, California, in Los Angeles County.

LeBron, 39, and Bronny, 20, were sued by Kiara McGillen and April Almanza Lopez, who claim they had to pay medical and vehicle expenses and lost income at their jobs because of the alleged crash.

McGillen and Lopez allege the crash happened along the Pearblossom Highway and that they required medical attention after the incident. In the filing, their attorney writes that the two women had paid for “physicians, surgeons and others for examination, treatment and care” and expect to pay future medical expenses related to the crash.

The two women also allege their car was “damaged and depreciated” in the crash, claiming their car was unable to be used afterward.

PEOPLE has reached out to the attorney representing McGillen and Lopez for comment and further information about the alleged crash, as well as representatives for both Jameses.

The complaint was filed hours before LeBron and his oldest son made NBA history on Tuesday by becoming the first father-and-son duo to ever play in a game together in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 110-103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"That moment, us being at the scorer's table together and checking in together is something I will never forget," LeBron said after the game, standing alongside his oldest son at the team’s postgame press conference. "No matter how old I get, no matter how my memory may fade as I get older or whatever, I will never forget that moment."

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer continued: “Everything was just great today for me — everything. From the moment I woke up, I saw my daughter before she went to school, then I went to work and saw my son at work, get to the game, just everything. It was a great moment.”
