Tom Cruise was involved in a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon, narrowly avoiding injury according to HollywoodLife.com, who broke the news of the crash.

According to the report, Cruise was riding down a local street in Los Angeles when a car ran through a stop sign, causing the actor to slide on his bike into another car. Cruise was reportedly limping following the crash, but refused to be taken to the hospital.

Cruise's motorcycle was badly damaged in the collision, with the Hollywoodlife reporting that the "gears were completely torn to shreds on the left side."

Cruise Motorcycle Reports False
March 8, 2010


A representative for Tom Cruise has moved swiftly to assure fans the actor was not involved in a motorcycle accident on Sunday, despite reports to the contrary.

The actor was said to have been spotted limping after crashing his motorbike into a car while riding through Los Angeles, but a member of his camp has since taken to the star's official Twitter.com page to dismiss the reports.


The post reads:
"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."

Yeah, I read somewhere else that the story was a hoax.
