Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Bodybuilding turned Hollywood star, has recently been slapped with a lawsuit by a female cyclist for an accident that happened back in February on a busy West L.A. street.

The former California governor has been accused of driving at an excessive speed and failing to keep a proper lookout, resulting in a collision between his SUV and the cyclist.

According to Radar Online, the legal documents obtained by the publication reveal that a woman named Joanne Flickinger that Arnold's SUV collided with her bicycle on a busy west Los Angeles street on February 5, 2023.
