Sounds very serious, not for him, women hurt

The black Yukon is his...

I sure looks like the red car is in the wrong lane to be going that way. And the Porsche Taycan was involved by following too close.

No doubt he will be sued for his deep pockets regardless of fault.

I am sure the cops will sort out what happened.

His net worth is $400M
He should be ok...I think. ;)

I would have thought he'd be worth more than that. Seinfeld is close to a billion.

Probably gave a lot to Maria even though she's not penniless.

Looks like the SUV is repairable.

Not a fan since he did his slimy turn as a politician.

Arnold doesn't have anything in syndication, Jerry does.

Still $400M sounds low. His movies have made a lot of money over the years.

But then again how accurate are the online estimates of someones wealth?

I smell a rat.

Tom Hanks is worth $400M as well.

I hope the injured lady recovers. That Prius is done for.

Um...geniuses...
 

He's insured.

That said, his rates are about to go up. God only knows how he wound up in this configuration or why the Prius is in the part of the road that it is? :confused:

Even I have enough insurance to cover all of the damage I see in the photos. And the woman in the Prius, (who may be found at fault), was not seriously injured. Look at the photos...he obviously jerked his steering wheel to the left to avoid her and would up lifting the right side of his battleship as he hit her. There is very little evidence of impact on the Prius, he just sort of drove up onto her hood at low speed.

I think those two cars are completely spun around by the force of the impact. That's a T-intersection. Cars (going straight) will be doing 30-50 mph on that stretch of Sunset. Supposedly Arnold was making a left turn onto the smaller street (can't recall the name off the top of my head), and the oncoming Prius was going straight. Maybe the sun was in his eyes. It was about 5 pm and he was facing west. Maybe Arnold had the green arrow--or not. But those cars are completely not pointing in the directions they were initially traveling. Hope the woman's injuries aren't too serious. She was bleeding from the head, reports say.

I disagree, there is no evidence of any significant impact to any of the vehicles. No way did the Prius "pit maneuver" the 7500lb. SUV like a spinning top.

I'm very familiar with the intersection, (used to live a short distance away), and I think that Arnold was heading north on Allenford, about to turn left or west onto Sunset. Everyone is in a rush and traffic is heavy at that time of day, so it's normal to be moving along but not recklessly. I think that the Prius was for some reason where it should not have been, maybe making a U-turn on Sunset as her light turned red. She caught him by surprise as he had the light and the slow-motion train wreck occurred.

That's my armchair guess, anyhow. I have a lot of time on my hands this week. :)

Funny thing is, because I'm stuck at home with Covid and bored out of my mind, I flipped on the local police scanner on my iPhone yesterday and heard this accident broadcasted in full as it was called in. They of course said nothing about Arnold on the radio but they did request a supervisor. :cool:

Good thing he wasn't in the Hummer...or maybe he was gettin one

^^^ Speeder
If you happen to see Arnold....ask him what his net worth is. SmileWavy
It bothers me that he passed me.

Isn’t he a big real estate investor? I suppose Maria is now as well, though.

Low speed impact, for sure.

Looks to me the Pruis was turning right onto Allenford.

And like all too many drivers, they prob swung waaay too wide to their left into his lane as he was approaching to turn left. He reacted with sharp left-ish action as they collided. Taycan is a jackass close-follower thinking they are more efficient by closing the gap. Douche move.

Doubtful he has any fault in this. But hey, where there's an opportunity to grab cash by lying...

Back in 2010-ish, I was renewing my Smith System Drive Trainer Certification in San Diego. There were about 6 people in my class. At least 3 classmates asked how I was able to cleanly make turns staying in the appropriate lane.

"Simple, I just want to be where I'm supposed to be. I look for the lane markings and stay in them."

All blank stares. This is not a Cali thing, it's drivers in general.

The article I read last night. Halfway down a witness described the accident.

He bought up half of Venice back in his body building days in the '70s. He would be a very rich guy even if he'd never made it as an actor. He has been a MAJOR player in coastal RE for 50 years.

Ok, found that: "One of the witnesses says it appeared the Prius was on Sunset Blvd and Arnold was on Sunset turning left in the opposite direction when the collision occurred."

If that is the case, I have no idea how they wound up in that position on Allenford. I see no skid marks from the spin and they must have pirouetted together like something from Dancing With the Stars to be coupled like that. With relatively little collision damage. :confused:

Weird things do happen in collisions, though. If it really did go down like that, (and there is damage to the passenger side of the SUV that suggests impact not where it sits), then the Porsche Taycan may not have been following anyone closely or at all. They might have just been in the place at the time.

I've never met the guy but I find him very entertaining and I'd like to meet him. I did use to see him a lot back in the '80s at The Rose Cafe back patio, his office was right behind and shared the same parking lot. He was always with a bunch of friends holding court, smoking cigars, laughing it up, etc. He was riding high in those days, peak movie star years.

He had a Guards Red M491 Carrera Cabriolet that was always parked in the lot. I thought that it was a douchebag car at the time, (still do), even though I am a major Porschophile. Somehow, he pulled off driving it, though. He was just bigger than life. :cool:

I had no idea. One of many apps: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/police-scanner/id498408628

I have GOT to get out more.

Thanks!

The one I have is called 5-0 Radio or something similar, there are probably dozens of them in the App Store. It was free and you can listen to almost any police or fire channel in the land, including a long list of local ones in my case. It's become sort of a hobby learning all of the codes and unique habits they use on the radio so that I can understand what they are talking about.

It's so busy here in LA that it's sort of fascinating and depressing at the same time. :)

Bleeding from the head. Funny thing. Easy to cut your head and loose lots of blood. Which i would directly relate to not wearing a seatbelt. If i was to speculate. Insurance will fight tooth and nail. I don't see it worth much tbh.

Arnold will pay $50-100k settlement plus that car's value just to silence it.

She was not wearing a seat belt, betcha. Of little consequence.

Now if she wants seven million because it's Arnold, things will get ugly.

Gotta be The Rose Venice.

I look stuff up on Google Earth as I live vicariously through our west coast members.

And likely she will not even get a ticket for no seatbelt.

They focus on the at fault stuff, I think.

And she was at fault for not wearing a seatbelt.

Looks like she would have hit her head a lot harder if the Yukon hadn't hiked 4 feet or so forward up the hood. I'm not sure how the Prius can be completely in Arnold's lane without her driving it there. I'll be she's completely at fault, but we'll see.

Not wearing a seatbelt doesn't cause traffic collisions, it's a separate infraction. I also don't think that it factors into legal fault determinations in any way but maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

Stallone is also reported at $400 million. Maybe they stop counting at that figure?

It does.

Tell that to Tracy Morgan's lawsuit with the walmart semi. Now instead of someone famous to nobody peasant. It'll be under a 6 figure payout...

she made an illegal u turn in front of Arnold

That's what the whole set-up looked like to me. Where did you read that?

I need to find it again, but someone took the following image and superimposed
"I need your clothes and your boots and your insurance and drivers license."
I thought it was amusing.

I'm just thankful Arnold's hydrogen tanks didn't explode.
