CALABASAS, Calif. — Actor Jason Momoa was involved in a head-on collision with a motorcyclist in Calabasas on Sunday morning, California Highway Patrol confirmed.
According to officers, the “Aquaman” star was not injured, but the motorcyclist was knocked off his bike and sustained minor injuries, KABC-TV reported.
Authorities confirmed that Momoa, who was driving a 1970 Oldsmobile, stayed at the scene to help the injured motorcyclist and flagged down a passing driver to call 911, the TV station reported.
The motorcyclist has been identified as 21-year-old Vitaliy Avagimyan, who was traveling westbound on Old Topanga Canyon Road when he crossed the double yellow lines into the road’s eastbound lanes and directly into the path of Momoa’s oncoming Oldsmobile, KTTV reported.
Momoa appeared in the 2021 Netflix film “Sweet Girl” with a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 muscle car that appears to be similar to the one he was driving on Sunday, KABC reported.
