Does laravel save() method throws exception?

I have a little question here. This is my code: 

DB::beginTransaction();
    try{
        $created = new TransportTypeColumn();
        $created->name = $translated_ids[0];
        if(!$created->save())
            throw new \Exception("failed saving transport type column");
        DB::commit();
        return response()->json(['success'=>'Property has been created successfully', 'data'=>$created],200);

    }catch(\Exception $e){
        DB::rollback();
        return response()->json(['error'=>'Something went wrong, please try later.'], 500);
    }

so do I need this piece of code ? :

if(!$created->save())
            throw new \Exception("failed saving transport type column");

or does it throws exception itself if save() function doesn't succeed?

I know this question has already an answer, but for people who stumble upon this and want an exception to be thrown, you could use the method saveOrFail() instead of save().

DB::beginTransaction();
try{
    $created = new TransportTypeColumn();
    $created->name = $translated_ids[0];
    $created->saveOrFail();
    
    DB::commit();
    return response()->json(['success'=>'Property has been created successfully', 'data'=>$created],200);
} catch(\Exception $e) {
    DB::rollback();
    return response()->json(
        ['error'=>'Something went wrong, please try later.'],
        $e->getCode()
    );
}

This method is around since at least Laravel 5.5 and you can find more information about it in the docs

save returns a boolean, you need to check if the save was successfull or not, but unless there is a mysql error you won't get any exceptions.
