Hawaii police say a witness reported UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn was speeding and lost control of his Toyota truck before flipping it onto an embankment in front of a shopping mall in his native Hilo.
Photos of the car reported to be shot after the accident appear to clash with that version of events. Penn family rep Gary Levitt forwarded a series of photos he said were Penn’s vehicle in the shop after the crash, which triggered a DUI investigation.
The photos, which don’t appear to show damage to the truck that indicate it flipped, were first revealed by TMZ.
