According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the accident was so bad that the airbags in the Yukon were deployed.

Schwarzenegger came out of the accident unscathed and was reportedly concerned for the woman, now identified as Augustine, in the Prius, who was in bad shape at the time. 

Augustine was driving at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Allenford Avenue, a public street within the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

Schwarzenegger has yet to respond to her lawsuit.

This recent lawsuit over a car accident comes after the "Expandables" actor was sued earlier this month over a bike accident.

A cyclist who was hit by Schwarzenegger's vehicle in February sued him for damages and expenses incurred due to the accident.

The legal documents obtained by The Blast revealed that the woman claimed that Schwarzenegger's "negligence" caused his car to hit her and inflict "severe injuries." It also alleged that he drove "with excessive speed and failed to keep a proper lookout."

The incident happened earlier this year, and the female cyclist reportedly swerved into Schwarzenegger's lane. Unfortunately, the actor was unable to slow down his vehicle before crashing into the woman's body.
