Arnold Schwarzenegger was involved in a car crash on Friday afternoon in Los Angeles that saw his enormous SUV slam into another car leaving the other driver badly hurt.
The former governor, 74, was driving a Yukon SUV about half a mile from his home in Brentwood, when it smashed into a red Prius at 5pm. The airbags deployed as a result of the collision.
The SUV then started to roll onto a white Porsche Cayenne that was directly behind Schwarzenegger's.
Law enforcement say they believe the accident was the fault of the actor who was attempting to make a left turn.
Police say Schwarzenegger was making a left turn while the traffic lights were still on red. He was not ticketed by police.
Images posted to social media show the offside driver's wheel of his SUV firmly on the hood of the Prius when everything came to a stop.
The female driver was hurt in the crash and was seen to be bleeding heavily. She was taken by ambulance to hospital.
One eyewitness told TMZ that it looked like a stunt from from a movie.

His car isn’t even in the intersection. maybe she ran the yellow or red going her way? Don’t believe the press. They are liars.
“Of course. To ticket him for taking a left on red would be a threat to our democracy. Or something.”
Police cannot cite a traffic violation without witnessing it. They can, however, make a decision regarding the primary collision factor in the traffic collision report.
LOL. I know FR hates Family Guy, but the show is hilarious.
I figured he would have taken his sorry a&& back to “socialist heaven” in Austria by now.
Pretty dumb to be driving a Prius on Sunset. Hope Arnold didn’t get hurt.
Arnold needs the big one so his ego has room to come along.
The first few seasons were hilarious. I just watched the episode with norm macdonald as death the other day.
Typical. Global warming enthusiast in a giant SUV plows over some poor schlub driving a Prius in hopes of trying to stretch a dollar as far as they can in he land of 6 dollar gasoline.
I notice lately that drivers no longer make proper turns. I have to having close calls where drivers - making left turns - tend to turn crossing the double lines into the incoming traffic. I immediately place my brakes to give ample room so they would not hit me.
KARMA BABY!! That is The Trump Curse.
I looked at the nighttime picture in the article and couldn’t figure it out either. Perhaps he was making a left at the end of a green, maybe yellow, or even red because she kept coming.
Screw your Prius…
Age 74-75 When people really notice the start of going downhill physically and mentally before the long nap.
Poor judgement on the part of the police to not cite him. That violation is part of an investigation...
Shatner was involved in a crash as well, a few weeks ago.
Exactly!
They will submit their report to the DA’s office (gascon) who will not file charges.
Sue him.

FTC.
If one is in the intersection trying to turn left when the light turns red...it is legal to continue the intended turn...in Cali...at some intersections, drivers coming in opposite direction can block a driver from turning left .If a driver is then stranded in the middle of the intersection, the cross traffic will be blocked..so the law allows you to finish the turn. If a driver is not in the intersection...they must not turn.
I respect Arnold as an actor, but this time he needs to be held accountable. It is past time to show Hollywood they are not above the law and when they make mistakes they need to answer for them.
