Arnold Schwarzenegger Sued For Crashing Into Cyclist In Los Angeles

A female cyclist is suing Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger following an accident where she claims he slammed into her on a residential street. 

The actor was reportedly driving when the cyclist swerved into his lane and made contact with his car before he had the chance to hit the brakes.

A disgruntled cyclist who was hit by Schwarzenegger's vehicle in February is now suing the movie star for damages and expenses incurred due to the accident.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the woman claims that Schwarzenegger's "negligence" caused his vehicle to strike her and inflict "severe injuries." It also alleges that he was driving "with excessive speed and failed to keep a proper lookout."

The incident, which happened earlier this year, reportedly saw the female cyclist swerve into Schwarzenegger's lane, but unfortunately, the actor was at top speed and was unable to slow down his vehicle before making an impact on the woman's body.

The female cyclist also alleges in her legal filing that Schwarzenegger and 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.

She is presently suing for damages, which include "past and future pain and suffering; past and future loss of earnings; past and future loss of earning capacity; past and future medical expenses; past and future healthcare expenses; past and future incidental expenses; and past and future household services."

When the incident happened in February, a report noted that law enforcement sources claimed Schwarzenegger was not at fault and was not driving fast.

They also noted that investigations into the accident had concluded, showing that there was no way the actor could have stopped the collision from happening.

Photos from the scene also showed that Schwarzenegger, an avid cyclist himself, attached the bicycle to the back of his car and took it for repairs. The woman, on the other hand, was said to have sustained "minor injuries," which, in hindsight, contradicts what she claims in her lawsuit.

Following the accident, law enforcement told the media "The woman made a left turn in front of Arnold before he had a chance to hit his brakes...and he was not going very fast at all."

He has yet to respond.

During a chat on "The Howard Stern Show," Schwarzenegger spoke on the challenges of aging and his discontent with his body's changes.

He said: "I kind of smile because every day I look in a mirror and say, 'Yeah, you suck.' Look at this body. Look at those pectoral muscles that used to be firm, perky, and really powerful with a striation. Now they're just hanging there. I mean, what the hell is going on here?"

Schwarzenegger added, "It's sad also because, as I said to people, it's one thing to see yourself get older and more and more out of shape, but most of the people have never been in shape, so what does it mean getting out of shape? They've always looked at the s—– body, so therefore, it gets s—– as time goes on."

The "Terminator" star spoke about his body changes in his book, "Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life," expressing humor and unhappiness about getting old. 

Schwarzenegger talked about how he never expected to see his body as it is now, noting that although it is "better than a majority of bodies," it "sucks" to see how much it has aged.
