Arnold Schwarzenegger allegedly hit cyclist with his car

Arnold Schwarzenegger has allegedly been involved in a car accident that resulted in a woman being sent to hospital. 

The former California governor, 75, reportedly struck a woman on Sunday who was riding a bike with his car after she swerved into his lane, according to TMZ.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles police department could not immediately confirm the accident to the New York Post, although police sources told TMZ that Schwarzenegger was not to blame for the accident. 

The source said Schwarzenegger, who is an avid cyclist himself, was not able to avoid the unidentified victim in the crash after the woman made a left turn in front of Schwarzenegger's vehicle before he could hit his brakes to come to a stop.

The actor was reportedly co-operating with officers at the scene in West Los Angeles, while the cyclist was taken to hospital with minor injuries. 

Schwarzenegger also allegedly took the woman's bike to a local shop to repair the damage it sustained from the collision. 

An investigation into the incident is still ongoing, while reps for Schwarzenegger have yet to comment on the crash. 

The Austrian-born actor has had a run of bad luck with motor vehicle accidents lately.

In January 2022, Schwarzenegger was involved in a multi-car crash in Brentwood, California.

Schwarzenegger walked away from that crash seemingly uninjured, but another person involved sustained a head injury.

Sources said at the time that the star was “deeply concerned” about the woman and intended to personally check up on her.
