British actor Russell Brand was “shell-shocked” after being involved in a car crash in New York, the Daily Mirror reported Monday.
Brand, who is engaged to singer Katy Perry, had just left the set of his latest movie “Arthur” in a new $238,000 Lamborghini Superleggera when it was bumped by a heavy truck.
The 35-year-old apparently escaped the incident with only minor injuries — but the car was left with £6,000 worth of damage, the newspaper reported.
Stunned witnesses watched as the actor became trapped in the passenger seat and had to climb out of the driver’s door.
“The whole incident was pretty terrifying,” a source said. “Russell was very shaken. He refused to go to A&E [the emergency room] despite severe bruising on his arm and cuts. He’s gutted, as he’d only just taken loan of the car.”
