Arnold Schwarzenegger has been involved in a car crash in Los Angeles.
According to the Daily Mail, the actor and former governor of California was driving his enormous GMC Yukon SUV and was about to turn onto Sunset Boulevard when he had a head-on collision with a red Toyota Prius.
The Prius was allegedly making a U-turn in the road when the collision occurred, and the crash was serious enough that airbags were deployed in both it and Schwarzenegger's SUV.

Schwarzenegger's car then began to roll onto a white Porsche Cayenne that had been directly behind him.
The 74-year-old actor is said to be unharmed and was seen speaking to police officers next to his car, while the driver of the Prius was taken to hospital after bleeding from the head, though her injury is thought not to be serious.
TMZ reports that law enforcement believe the crash was Schwarzenegger's fault for attempting to turn left while the left turn arrow was still red, though he has not been ticketed for the incident.
He is said to be very concerned about the other driver and wants to personally check up on her when he is able to.
An eyewitness described the crash as 'crazy' and 'like a stunt in a movie'.
Jake Steinfeld, a close friend of the 74-year-old, was also in the car, and he was also able to avoid injury during the crash.
A police statement released regarding the incident said that no arrests had been made in connection with the crash, and they were not suspecting that alcohol or drugs had played any part in the collision.
Images of the crash have made their way onto social media and show the passenger side tire of Schwarzenegger's vehicle mounted atop the front of the wrecked Prius, while the back of the car is wedged against the Porsche Cayenne.
It is fortunate that a crash serious enough to wreck at least one car and set off the airbags in two of them has resulted in only one injury, which is thought not to be life threatening, as head-on collisions are some of the most dangerous crashes that occur.
