Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger has recently been slapped with a lawsuit by a female cyclist. The former California governor has been sure by a Los Angeles resident where she has mentioned that on the day of the accident, he was driving at a high speed and failed to keep a proper lookout.
The incident, happened earlier this year. The Canadian actor, 76, accidentally hit the woman when she took a fast left turn in front of Schwarzenegger’s SUV.
What does the Lawsuit Say?
According to Radar Online, the lawsuit filed by Joanne Flickinger claims the Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s “negligence” caused his SUV to hit her and inflict “severe injuries.”
The female cyclist also alleges his house production company, Oak Productions, “negligently managed, maintained, repaired, drove, and/or operated their vehicle” to cause the collision and permanent injuries to her.
It also says that due to the accident, the woman is allegedly unable to make a living and asks for compensation.
The Terminator star, following the incident co-operated with the police officers.
What is the Incident Actually?
The actor-turned-politician got involved in an incident that seemed to have happened when he was driving in West Los Angeles on a Sunday morning.
As per TMZ, the actor was driving in West Los Angeles when a woman riding a bike suddenly swerved into his lane and made contact with his vehicle.
The woman had minor injuries and was in stable condition. Schwarzenegger, who himself is an avid cyclist was not at fault for the incident, according to the cop.
Neither was he driving fast at the time nor there was any involvement of drugs or alcohol, which could have affected the involved parties’ situation, which is why this mishappening was deemed as “a simple traffic accident.”
This is not the only such incident the Twins actor has been involved with in recent years. In January 2022, Schwarzenegger was involved in a multi-car crash in Brentwood, California.
