Arnold Schwarzenegger has reportedly been involved in a car accident in Los Angeles after a bicycle allegedly swerved into his lane.
The actor, 75, was said to be driving around the city on Sunday morning when the incident occurred. It's said the bike "made contact" with the star's car before he had a chance to slow down.
The incident was seemingly confirmed by witnesses at the scene after they spoke to a group of police officers with further details, with the Terminator star also seen speaking to the police.
The cyclist was said to have been taken to hospital by first responders, where she is reportedly in a stable condition and has been treated for minor injuries.

The location of the collision was at San Vicente Boulevard and Burlingame Avenue in Brentwood.
Officers have not issued the names of the people involved in the crash.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Schwarzenegger does not appear to be at fault. An investigation has since been launched, with it already being ruled that the actor could not have done anything to avoid the impact.

The crash caused a multi-car accident, with the Prius rolling into a Porsche Taycan after impact.
The incident also occurred in Brentwood, with emergency services attending the scene to treat the driver of the Prius, who was bleeding heavily from her head.
