As The Blast previously reported, the late 'Euphoria'star, who passed away in July 2023, was involved in an accident, in which he allegedly fled the scene.
According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the victim is now suing for damages to the motor vehicle, and for personal injuries.
Angus Cloud Sued For Damages and Personal Injury
Cloud, who plays Fezco in the HBO drama 'Euphoria', and another individual were allegedly driving an SUV that rear-ended a Toyota in Marina Del Rey in February 2023. At the time, witnesses say they saw the SVU take off into a parking lot nearby without ever stopping.
After the alleged accident occurred, witnesses say they then went into the parking lot, where they found the SVU, however, Cloud and the other man were MIA, indicating they fled the scene.
The female, who was in the Toyota hit by the SVU, suffered injuries to her legs and arms, including bruising and redness. Now, the victim claims she suffered "wage loss, loss of use of property, hospital and medical expenses, general damage, property damage, and loss of earning capacity" and is suing Cloud.
"At said time and place, [Cloud] did negligently and carelessly own, rent, lease, bail, entrust, operate, repair, and maintain a motor vehicle to cause the same to strike [the victim]'s vehicle, thereby directly and proximately causing the damages complained of herein to [her]," the docs read.
Adding, "As a direct result of the subject accident, [the victim] suffered personal injuries and have incurred and continue to incur hospital and medical expenses, wage loss, loss of earning capacity, property damages, and general damages. Said amount to be proven at the time of trial."
