AceShowbiz - Alan Ruck has been dragged to court by a driver who claimed he collided with his car on Halloween night. The "Succession" actor has been sued by a man named Horacio Vela, who said he's suffering "severe injuries and damages" following the accident.
Horacio filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles County's Superior Court. In the legal docs, he alleged that the 67-year-old Hollywood star "abruptly and forcefully accelerated his vehicle" while stopped at a red light at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue around 9 P.M. on October 31.
Alan's Rivian R1T electric truck allegedly struck the bumper of Horacio's Hyundai Elantra, pushing the car into another vehicle in the intersection. while the truck went on to hit yet another vehicle before smashing into a nearby pizza shop. The plaintiff said he was then rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in an ambulance, and his car was towed from the scene and deemed a "total loss."
Horacio's attorney, Neama Rahmani, slammed Alan's insurance company for not solving the issue. "Accidents happen," the lawyer stated. "That's what insurance is for. But Alan Ruck's insurance company, State Farm, has refused to accept responsibility for the crash. Even worse, Ruck's State Farm adjuster has ghosted us for weeks despite repeated calls and letters seeking to work out an amicable settlement."
Alan himself has spoken up about the car crash. "I'm okay," he said in early November. "I'm fine and thank God nobody was killed." Though so, photographers noticed that he had a small limp when he was walking. Addressing the matter, he assured, "This isn't from the accident, this is because I'm getting old."
