Arnold Schwarzenegger was involved in a traffic accident that sent a bicyclist to the ER — but it’s not something he could’ve avoided or is to blame over … TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us the movie star was driving in West L.A. Sunday morning, when at some point … a woman riding a bike on the road suddenly swerved into his lane and made contact with his vehicle — something confirmed by 3 eyewitnesses.
We’re told first responders arrived on the scene and that the woman was transported to a hospital. Arnold, our sources say, was also on the scene speaking with cops.
