Orlando Bloom in Late Night Car Crash

From LoveToKnow Celebrity

Best known for his roles in Pirates of the Caribbean and the Lord of the Rings trilogies, actor Orlando Bloom was reportedly involved in a late night car accident in Hollywood on October 12, 2007.

Poor Driving Habits

Orlando Bloom is not to blame, but the other driver reportedly caused the crash and has not yet been identified. Bloom and his two unidentified female passengers were near the intersection of Fountain and Vista streets in Hollywood when another driver reportedly cut him off. In an effort to avoid hitting the other car, Bloom swerved, causing him to crash the 2003 Toyota Matrix he was driving into a parked Porsche Cayenne SUV. The unidentified driver of the other car is claimed to have been a member of the paparazzi attempting to get a picture of Bloom and his companions.

Minor Injuries

The female passenger riding in the front seat reportedly had bruises and cuts to her face and neck while the female passenger in the back seat fractured her neck. Both ladies were taken to Cedars Sinai Hospital for treatment and were later released. Bloom however, did not sustain any injuries in the accident. He did spend the night in the hospital with the woman who sustained a minor neck fracture. The woman was later identified by Bloom's publicist as a childhood friend of Orlando's.

Alcohol not a Factor

Although Bloom and his friends had just left the trendy Hollywood club Green Door just shortly before the smash-up occurred, the LAPD reported that neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor in this accident.
