Was Tom Cruise Involved In Motorcycle Accident in LA?

Two separate eyewitnesses tell HollywoodLife.com that the mega-actor was involved in a minor accident on La Cienega Boulevard

HollywoodLife.com has learned that Tom Cruise may have been involved in a motorcycle accident at around 3 p.m. EST on March 7 in Los Angeles. He was heading south near the intersection of La Cienega Blvd. and Sherwood when a car ran through a stop sign in front of him. According to two eyewitnesses who spoke to HollywoodLife.com, Tom leaned to the left and his red Ducati bike slid forward into a brown SUV, denting the SUV’s back tires. Five people helped Tom pick himself up and get the bike on its side. The bike’s gears were damaged on the left side. From there, Tom immediately ran to the sidewalk (two eyewitnesses say he was slightly limping.) Tom sat outside KOI Restaurant on La Cienega Blvd., where he made two phone calls and waited 30 minutes for paramedics to arrive, we were told by two separate witnesses to the accident.

Tom’s reps tell HollywoodLife.com that the accident didn’t happen.

Also, the following was posted about two hours ago on Tom’s official Twitter page: “Tom NOT in motorcycle accident 2day…Tom tells us he hasn’t been on his bike in days due 2 the weather, but when it clears up, look out. ;)”

View photos of the damage:

Though he refused to be taken to a hospital, claiming he was fine, we’re told Tom spoke with police and the man driving the brown SUV that his motorcycle hit. When we approached the man involved in the accident, he would not give his name but said, “Tom asked me not to talk about this, but I’m fine.”

    Are you all kidding? There wasn’t an accident. Hollywood Life made it up. That site GossipCop already disproved it, as did E!

    He’s a scientologist. They believe that if they touch the injury to the spot where it occurred, then the pain will go away. They also believe that they can fix the injury with what they call a “touch assist.” Another example is Jenna Elfman who said “AIDS is a state of mind.”

    I guess this is what you get when you spend THOUSANDS of dollars on scientology.

    Surely you douchbags can see that the bike he’s riding in the top photo isn’t the bike that he wrecked so just because he wasn’t wearing a helmet in the top photo doesn’t mean he wasn’t wearing one in the wreck. And he hit the SUV so hard it “dented the back tires”? How fast does a bike need to be going to dent rubber? Idiots.

    FYI the picture on top is not the same motorcycle as in the accident. Although the report doesn’t say whether he was wearing a helmet, he should have been wearing one in either instance. Hopefully he’ll be ok. And to ALL drivers, use your turn-signals, don’t run yellow/red lights, and pLEASE for the sake of all that is holy, beware of motorcyclists. We are harder to see, and therefore if you’re in a hurry, it’s easy for you to run us over if you’re not paying attention. Trust me, WE are. We almost always ride in full alert, and more so in the city. We don’t want to get run over, so we’re trying to think ahead and anticipate your movements, so please please please be careful!

    That is not a street bike. The fairing (windshield) is for racing and very dangerous on the street. He is lucky it did not slice him in 1/2.

    Scientology…….. He said he was fine because he saw himself in an accident in his rearview mirror and decided he had to help himself, he was the only one who could save Tom Cruise.

    …..
    He is a good actor, partially because he is so eccentric, but he doesn’t have to go around professing about scientology, due to the advent of the Internet, we can all read about any religion we want, when we want.

    I have not seen any TV shows about Tom’s accident. But, if people think he was not wearing a helmet just because of the picture above, they could be wrong. That is just a picture that was taken sometime in the past.
    Maybe he wasn’t, maybe he was. But don’t judge him by what you see above.
    As for being a Scientologist. Who cares! He’s a damn good actor. His religion is his business.

      Creepy cultbag wrecks perfectly good Ducati. This proves his riding skills are PTS and nowhere near that of a professional stuntman. Maybe they should suspend his license and have Tommy Davis drive him around in the Xenumobile

        Hey, this could be good publicity for Ducati in America. I’m not a fan of Tom outside of his movies, but at least he has good taste in motorcycles! Although I’d go with the Monster 900, but to each his own..

    I’ve ridden motorcycles since I was 12 yrs old…. and have avoided more than one guy who ran a red light or stop sign. I’ve also been hit twice! Once by a 19 yr old kid who ran a stop light and totaled his ’65 Mustang in 1968 and once by a grown man who was DUI and suddenly decided to make a left turn right in front of me. He told the officers that he didn’t see me. LOL There weren’t any witnesses in any of my accidents but both drivers of the other cars who obviously wanted to shift responsibility… said I was driving too fast too! Both drivers when it went to court plead guilty to the charges placed against them by the state…. The most serious charge of DUI was dropped against the 19 yr old for obscure reasons and he plead guilty to running a red light and paid a 25 dollar fine… The grown man plead guilt to DUI and failure to yield right of way. I have avoided a multitude of accidents with quick thinking and quick maneuvers much like Tom Cruise and wish him better luck with the next stupid driver who doesn’t have to be DUI to do something stupid. I wish him the best! :)

    Mission Impossible Man. Cruise is a lucky person and luck is still with him. As for the Scientology remarks. Religion has nothing to do with luck or consequences. God does not bring us fortune and fame it is hard work and determination. He is obviously aware on the road even when driving faster than he should. Good to hear Cruise and the best of luck again. Have to envy this man.

    From Canada. As Canadaians tonight own Hollywood because we work and dont whine.
