Another car accident involving a celebrity in Malibu this week. Gary Busey is reported to have struck a pedestrian with his car on Friday.
TMZ reports that the 70 year old actor accidentally hit a woman as he was reversing out of a shopping centre parking lot at around 3 p.m. local time. According to the Los Angeles County Sherriff’s Department, the incident happened at Pavillions Grocery Store on the Pacific Coast Highway.

Busey hasn’t been immediately cited in this incident, and there is no indication that alcohol or drugs were involved. It is believed that he simply didn’t see the woman as she was walking behind his car as it started to move. She was treated on the spot, having suffered minor injuries, and was released soon afterwards.

It isn’t the first time that Busey has been involved in a traffic accident. He was critically injured in a motorcycle accident back in 1988, which left him with a fractured skull.
Busey was an iconic figure in many ‘70s and ‘80s, famous for his roles in action staples like Point Break, Lethal Weapon and Under Siege. In 1978, he was nominated for an Oscar for his role in The Buddy Holly Story.
In September last year, he won the British edition of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, despite some erratic behaviour upon his entrance to the house.
Also on the Pacific Coast Highway, Bruce Jenner was involved last week in a huge pile-up of cars that claimed the life of one person. Jenner himself was unhurt in the incident, but seven other people suffered injuries of varying degrees. It isn’t known whether paparazzi were a contributing factor to the crash.
