AceShowbiz - Arnold Schwarzenegger has been dragged to court over an accident that happened earlier this year. The "Terminator: Dark Fate" actor is being sued by a cyclist who accidentally got hit with his car.
Filing the lawsuit was a woman named Joanne Flickinger. In the legal docs obtained by TMZ, Joanne blamed Arnold for allegedly driving "with excessive speed and [failing] to keep a proper lookout." She also claimed to have suffered from severe injuries from the collision.
The incident took place at the intersection of San Vicente Boulevard and Burlingame Avenue on February 5 around 10:30 A.M. At that time, TMZ reported that Arnold 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 contact with his vehicle.
According to the outlet, the former California governor 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.
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.
That wasn'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. He 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.
