Takara_Soong 4 Posted July 14, 2009 From Associated Press: LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say actor LeVar Burton was involved in a five-car accident but wasn't seriously injured. Detective Judy Acosta says Burton's 2006 Mercedes was on Beverly Boulevard in West Los Angeles at about 7:40 p.m. Monday when a 74-year-old woman in a 2006 Scion turned left in front of him. Acosta says the cars collided. Burton's vehicle then hit a parked car, leading to a chain reaction that damaged two other parked cars. Acosta says both drivers complained of pain, then were examined at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and released. Nobody was ticketed. Burton, 52, was in the TV miniseries "Roots," "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and was the longtime host of "Reading Rainbow." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ensign_beedrill 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Man car troubles always make me feel horrible. Glad he's relatively OK. On a side note, how weird would it be to be in a car accident, get out of the car to talk to the other person, and find out it was LeVar Burton? Like... that has to be the worst way to meet a celebrity. Do you ask for his autograph while exchanging information? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
