A cyclist identified as Joanne Flickinger is suing actor, former politician, and former professional bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger over traffic accident which occurred in February 2023.
According to TMZ, Joanne Flickinger claims she’s the bicyclist who collided with Arnold’s SUV back in February on a busy West L.A. street.
In the lawsuit, Flickinger alleges Arnold was driving ‘with excessive speed and failed to keep a proper lookout’.
She also claims the collision caused her severe injuries.
The cyclist was taken to hospital after the crash with the star taking the bike to a shop for repairs.
The actor spoke to a group of police officers who asked for further details regarding the accident.
The Terminator actor did not appear to be at fault in the incident, law enforcement sources told TMZ at the time – it was claimed the woman made a fast left turn in front of Arnold’s car before he could brake and that he was not going fast at all.
An investigation into the accident was launched, although it was reportedly determined that the former governor of California could not have done anything to avoid being hit.
Schwarzenegger was previously involved in a multi-car accident that took place in Brentwood last January.
According to TMZ, the performer was driving his GMC Yukon when he collided with a Toyota Prius that subsequently continued to roll into a Porsche Taycan.
The driver of the Prius was taken to a hospital by ambulance after it was found that she was bleeding heavily from her head.
No arrests were made at the scene of the accident, and neither drugs nor alcohol were suspected to have been factors.
