Keanu Reeves faces negligence lawsuit related to car accident

Posted on 09. Nov, 2007 by Luciana in News

LOS ANGELES: A photographer has filed a lawsuit against Keanu Reeves after the actor allegedly crashed into him in a Porsche.

According to the lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Reeves struck Alison Silva on March 19. At the time of the accident, authorities said the person Reeves struck was a male paparazzi.

The suit seeks an unspecified amount in damages and alleges that Silva suffered shock and serious bodily injuries.

An attorney for Reeves did not immediately return a phone message Monday evening.

According to reports at the time of the accident, Reeves was leaving a parking space about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of downtown Los Angeles when he hit Silva.

An attorney for Reeves said at the time that Silva was blocking Reeves’ way and if there was a collision, it was not hard enough to cause injuries.

    Honestly, I would have ran him over and backed up a few times… but I am not a nice person when it comes to things like this. I wish that they (paparazzi) would leave people alone. I enjoy Keanu’s movies and I think he is a great actor and very good looking but he is a person too who needs his privacy just like anyone else. Unfortunately we live in the time of lawsuits and scandals and that is what sells. I hope all goes well for Keanu.
