Arnold Schwarzenegger flips SUV in 'bad' four car crash

Arnold Schwarzenegger was involved in a ‘multi-car crash’ that resulted in a woman being hospitalised.

The Terminator actor and former governor of California was pictured at the scene on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles at around 4.30pm on Friday.

The 74-year-old was turning on to the busy street half a mile away from his home in the Brentwood area when his GMC Yukon SUV crashed into a Toyota Prius and ended up "on top" of the other car.

His car then rolled onto a white Porsche that was "directly behind" his vehicle, with an eyewitness telling TMZ it "looked like a stunt from a movie."

The actor-turned-politician is believed to be well following the incident, but the female driver of the Prius was taken to hospital with head injuries.

Describing the accident as "bad", TMZ reported: “One eyewitness says it was crazy ... it looked like a stunt in a movie. The collision was intense enough that the airbags deployed on the Yukon.”

Photos from the scene show the SUV wedged between a red and a white car while partially on its side.

Mr Schwarzenegger was photographed at the scene of the incident and was said to be "deeply concerned" about the condition of the woman who was injured in the accident.

TMZ claimed a source close to the star saying that he wants to personally check up on her at the hospital.

An LAPD spokesperson told the PA news agency: “It was a four vehicle traffic collision (and) fire departments and paramedics transported one female to a local hospital with an abrasion to her head.

“Neither alcohol nor drugs are suspected as a factor in this and all parties remained at the scene.”

ABC7 News provided further details of the incident, writing: “Los Angeles police said a wreck involving four cars occurred around 4:15 p.m. on Sunset Boulevard and Allenford Avenue.

“It's unclear if Schwarzenegger was driving or if he was a passenger in a vehicle at the time of the crash. Police said the actor and former California governor was not injured."

It is understood that police have made no arrests.
