AceShowbiz - Arnold Schwarzenegger got into an accident in Los Angeles on Sunday morning, February 5. The former California governor had a collision with a bike which sent a lady to the E.R., but it's not something that he's to blame over.
According TMZ, the actor was driving in West L.A. when at some point a woman riding a bike on the road suddenly swerved into his lane and made a contact with his vehicle. The crash took place around 10:30 A.M. at the intersection of San Vicente Boulevard and Burlingame Avenue, Officer Mike Lopez of the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to KTLA.
Arnold was not driving fast, but the woman made a left turn in front of him before he had a chance to hit his brakes. When first responders arrived on the scene, the woman complained of pain and was transported to a hospital, but she wasn't seriously injured. She's currently in stable condition with minor injuries.
Arnold, meanwhile, remained on the scene and spoke with cops. Law enforcement sources say no alcohol or drugs are suspected and no crime was committed. The sources note that it was just a simple accident. Arnold, however, was kind enough to take the lady's bike, attach it to his car and take it to a local bike shop to get it fixed up.
This isn't the first time Arnold got involved in a traffic accident. In January 2022, he was involved in a multiple car crash that left one person injured. The "Terminator" star was driving his Yukon SUV when it collided with a red Prius at Sunset Boulevard and Allenford Avenue. His SUV started to roll and ended up on top of the Prius, and then continued rolling to the left into a Porsche Cayenne.
The woman who was driving the Prius was the one taken to the hospital by ambulance. She was reportedly bleeding heavily from her head. Arnold himself appeared to be unharmed and remained at the scene and cooperated with police officers.
It was believed that the former bodybuilder was at fault in the accident. He reportedly was turning left when the left turn arrow was still red, hence the collision. Despite his supposed mistake, he was reportedly not ticketed.
