In a crash that looked right out of a movie, a black GMC Yukon – piloted by none other than renowned actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger – ended up parked on the hood of a red Toyota Prius.
The accident occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m. local time on January 21st, 2022, in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. While the details are still a little hazy, local law enforcement has indicated that Schwarzenegger is at fault for the accident. He allegedly made an illegal left turn on a red light in his GMC Yukon, which took him right into the path of the unfortunate Prius.
The two vehicles collided, causing the fifth-generation Yukon to start to roll, eventually planting its right front wheel onto the hood of the stricken Prius. The large SUV then continued to yaw slightly to the left, resulting in a second minor collision, this time with a white Porsche Taycan. A Toyota Corolla was also on scene, but it’s not clear if the vehicle was involved.
The impact was severe enough to trigger detonation of the front airbags in the GMC Yukon. Schwarzenegger exited his SUV without injury, despite the precarious position. However, the Prius driver didn’t fare as well, and was reportedly transported to a hospital to treat a heavily bleeding injury to her forehead.
Schwarzenegger’s friend, Jake Steinfeld, was also riding in the Yukon when the crash occurred.
“Neither alcohol or drugs are suspected as a factor in this collision. All parties remained at scene. No further information will be made available,” says a statement from Schwarzenegger’s spokesperson. The release also notes that the actor’s “only concern” is the condition of the woman who was injured in the crash.
Schwarzenegger was not ticketed at the scene of the incident, which happened about one mile away from his California home.

Your terminated
The article forgot to mention as he was being put in the ambulance he said I’ll be back.
Nothing can kill the terminator he will be fine.
But I’ll bet he needs a vacation.
Hasta la vista, baby!
That’s exactly what the Yukon said to the Prius after impact lol.
Who would thought, there actually is a good looking Prius. All you have to do is park a Yukon on it.
So the article says they Arnold made an illegal left turn and caused the accident, then said “ Schwarzenegger was not ticketed at the scene of the incident, which happened about one mile away from his California home”. Shocking!!!!!
Everyone knows SkyNet took over the Yukon and made it crash.
Such a large vehicle for driving around leisurely in an area without snow… I thought Arnold was an environmentally woke 🤔
F#$k your freedoms! I drive like I want to because it’s “my” right.

Arnie turned left at a red light? Role model function? Environmentalist? To each his own as he wants.
Not ticketed for an illegal left turn…hmm
After an investigation and witness statements, a moving violation summons can be issued at a later time.
Interesting. The Toyota looks like it was entirely left of center, not the Yukon.
Forehead cuts look way worse than they are because blood vessels there are very close to the skin surface, and there are lots of them in that area; so te cut doesn’t have to be deep to bleed profusely, Still, a crash is an unsettling experience, hopefully Ahnold wil easer her pain with some $$.
Reminds of the song “I drive a Yugo” thanks Rush Limbaugh..:)
His license should be terminated!
Left turn on red after stop (?) – – interesting concept. And then the next step is to park on top of a crappy car?
The airbag deployed on Arnold’s Yukon, which means it will be totalled. Once the insurance comes through, he’ll be back.
Good thing he wasn’t in one of his Hummers.
Time for Maria to take his keys…
They’re divorced, so not gonna happen.
Did he have his illegitimate son with him?
Someone will probably offer to buy the Prius.
OWNED.
Maybe it was a tumor . . .
And this is GM news?????
Depends what you call “news.” I still remember when Jerry Ford’s motorcade had a collision at an unprotected intersection in Connecticut. As Chevy Chase put it in SNL’s weekend update then, “Secret Service agents wrestled the Buick to the ground.”
Good thing he didn’t hit her head on in that little sh**box. She wouldn’t have survived. He probably drove home after he rolled his Yukon off her car. Hope he didn’t get any Toyota ugly on his tires. Maybe Ahnold will buy her a real vehicle that’s not a death trap.
Look at the photo from above, the Yukon is clearly in a left turn lane and the Prius is on the wrong side of the road. Or am I completely blind. There is a double yellow line just to the drivers side of the Yukon
Arnold must of been in a big hurry to get back to the “choppa”.
