Orlando Bloom Involved In Car Accident

"Pirates of the Caribbean" star Orlando Bloom was involved in a pretty bad accident last night around 2:15 AM at the intersection of Fountain and Vista.

Bloom, who had just left the Green Door in Hollywood, walked away uninjured, while one of his passengers suffered a fractured neck and the other was cut by her seat belt.

According to the LAPD, Orlando was driving a Matrix when he was cut off by another driver, causing him to crash into a parked Porsche Cayenne.

Bloom was NOT under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident, but he did try to flee the scene until a photog reminded him that he would be charged with a hit-and-run if he left.

Currently, Orlando's waiting at the hospital for his passenger to be released.

dude, i don't know what video footage YOU'VE seen but the clip i saw this morning, you could clearly tell he'd been doing something. his eyes are all glassy and he wobbles here and there... there's a whole bunch of things that make it obvious he was under the influence. and even if he wasn't? he still tried to walk away from the accident! the cameraman had to tell him to go back!! i used to really like and respect Orlando, but now i'm just saddened by the whole thing.

Tasha he didn't walk away he stayed with his injured friends. This article is a little miss leading. I think they meant that he was not hurt from the accident. Not that he walked away from his hurt friends and left them on the side of the road suffuring in pain, etc.

La Chat, there's a video out there somewhere (i watched it this morning) of the whole thing starting moments after it happened. he got of of his car, pulled his hoodie up, and started walking down the street. until the paps, were like "dude, you have to go back and deal with this, it's a hit and run if you leave." THEN he stopped and thought about it and THEN turned around, went back and started giving a damn. he was hammered, and you can tell.

Well loo loo I was watching it off of extra or e!news one of those shows... and all I saw was that he got out of the car. He walked away from his friends for about a minute and then turned back around and he was staying with his friends till the amblance got there. The reason he gave for the crash was because of the paps. He was given a breathalizer test and passed, and he crashed into two cars that were parked. Now if their is something else out there that states otherwise I have not seen it as of yet.

Obviously it says what happen on here. He was cutt off by another driver and you would react the way he did if out of no where a car cutts you off. Its called shocked and not knowing what to do at that moment. Not everyone is perfect..people makes mistake and thankfully the paparazzi guy got him to turn back. It just comes to show that he is human not a "God" or someone that never has anything bad happen to him like normal people.

orli is a human being. suddenly if you are hit by a car or crash into a car you'll get shocked and will probably be confused of what happened. its not that he want to go away on the scene. all the reports and videos are misleading. please do not judge orlando bloom. i know him and he is a good person inside and out. i hope you'll not diss him.

joi - you don't know him, you fucking loser, you just have seen his movies and think you're his biggest fan and that makes you the shit. well it doesn't. he left 2 injured women who were supposedly his friends in a car that HE crashed. we have the footage and the evidence speaks for itself. and yeah we're going to diss him, he's a douche bag! you fucking tool!

Orlando Bloom is an amazing,respectful guy...even though i'v never met him,it still shows that he is...just because one, little bad thing happened it doesn't make it his fault...think about it,do people go on news and complain about him..or say that he is a bad role model for our fellow young ones,NO instead my mum says that orlando bloom & johnny depp are practicullay the only normal ones that don't do anything to upset their fans...LOTS OF LOVE Rana
