As per TMZ, one of the biggest entertainment news outlets, Arnold was driving his SUV when the lady abruptly weaved in front of his car. It was stated by three eyewitnesses of the case that the actor was not at fault from any angle and could have not done anything to avoid the accident. Arnold was also seen talking to the police authorities at the scene.

An investigation was carried on for the accident and it was later revealed by the authorities that it was concluded that the woman swerved in front of Arnolds SUVs and that instance he could not manage to hit the brakes and thus caused the accident. Furthermore it was reported that the woman nor Arnold were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol and this was a case of a mere traffic accident.

This is not the first time that the former governor of California has been involved in an accident. Prior to this, Schwarzenegger was involved in a multi-vehicle crash. This accident also happened in Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) arrived at the scene soon after the crash.
