Tom Cruise almost died

Tom Cruise on his Ducati in Beverly Hills (1/11)

Remember the new motorcycle -- the Ducati DeathTrap 9000 -- that Tom Cruise paid $72,000 for earlier this year? Surprise surprise, he already crashed it. From the Hollywood Life:

Tom Cruise may have been involved in a motorcycle accident at around 3 p.m. EST on March 7 in Los Angeles. He was heading south near the intersection of La Cienega Blvd. and Sherwood when a car ran through a stop sign in front of him. According to two eyewitnesses who spoke to HollywoodLife.com, Tom leaned to the left and his red Ducati bike slid forward into a brown SUV, denting the SUV’s back tires. Five people helped Tom pick himself up and get the bike on its side. The bike’s gears were damaged on the left side. From there, Tom immediately ran to the sidewalk (two eyewitnesses say he was slightly limping.) Tom sat outside KOI Restaurant on La Cienega Blvd., where he made two phone calls and waited 30 minutes for paramedics to arrive, we were told by two separate witnesses to the accident.

Though he refused to be taken to a hospital, claiming he was fine, we’re told Tom spoke with police and the man driving the brown SUV that his motorcycle hit. When we approached the man involved in the accident, he would not give his name but said, “Tom asked me not to talk about this, but I’m fine.”

After the five young men -- with their strong grips, chiseled features, and asses you could bounce a quarter off of -- ran over to save Tom, Tom remarked to a nearby reporter: "Wow, I need to crash my bike more often!"

But he's a scientologist level 400+

Where was that "advanced technology" that endowed him with awesome mental superpowers? I thought all scientologist were supposed to be like the lovechild of Neo and Obi-Wan-kenobi

Seriously, why are some of you so "happy" about him nearly getting into an accident (which wasn't even his fault)? Sickos.

Tom is a good man and a great enthusiast of riding sport bikes, in particular the Ducati. I'm President of the Ducati Owners Group of Sacramento and we would love to have Tom attend our private track day in Nor Cal on Sept 30, with our compliments.

And for you other ignorant jerk offs, get a life since you all think you are so damn perfect. The more you spout off the more you sound like you have major self esteem problems. If you can't do or say anything positive, crawl back into your hole and leave humanity to those who care about it. And the critisizing of the 30 minute estimated arrival time. Not only is that a rumor, did you ever stop to think the information dispatch received may have been down played as a minor injury accident and no need to endanger others getting to the scene. Furthermore, did you all ever stop to think the system might have been overloaded with other higher priority calls? This happens more frequently than you think and theres no way of knowing when it might happen. Its like predicting when an earthquake is going to occur, you just don't know.

So stop your belly aching because I know you have pitiful lives with nothing else better to do than call out for mental health care each time you say useless things on the internet.

Get back on the bike as soon as you can Tom and good luck to you. My offer to attend the private track day is always open, we have a great group of members associated with the Ducati owners group of Sacramento.

OK really...are you serious...almost died...this kind of craptastic reporting is what makes people think motorcycles are unsafe.

According to the full article Tom was unable to stop when the brown SUV ran a stop sign this has nothing to do with the bike not being safe or toms lack of riding skill!!!

Maybe you should be talking about the public menace that the SUV driver is with his negligent driving habits and failure to obey a traffic signal.

but I digress. 1. the motorcycle is not the problem and 2. "almost died" is incredibly extreme. I am a fan of sensational celebrity news but accuracy does still matter for something.

really I think the important part of this story only got one line of coverage. Paramedics taking 30 minutes to arrive.

If paramedics in LA need 30 minutes to get anywhere it's amazing they actually have people in the hospital opposed to rooms full of dead bodies. In Emergency medicine terms 30 minutes could easily be the difference between life and death in the event of real serious injury. What if Tom was unaware of a spinal or neck injury when he called the paramedics 30 minutes of untreated spinal damage could be the difference between walking and being paralyzed!

If you want sensational headlines talk about how much the LA paramedics sucked! not Tom's "death trap motorcycle"

LOL this is pathetic! I cannot believe someone still publishes this story after the incident was denied by his staff on Sunday already! Is this a slow publication?

Average Joe

So his staff denied something embarrassing about their client? And you take that as the gospel?

I thought Scientologists were meant to be at cause over MEST (Matter Energy Space and Time).

Dented the tires and damaged the gears on the left side?? Obviously some idiots work for Hollywood life. I would like to see the dents in the tires being knocked out at the panel shop! Ha!

Anu

Too bad he didn't - he is such a disgusting person - normally I accept everyone as he is but he is one of the few people who can die any second and the world will be a better place.

Better luck next time. One less POS kooky $cientologi$t in the world? My kinda world!!!!

Knowing Tom Cruise, he probably will kill himself on the bike.

30 minutes for paramedics to arrive!!! This is unsatisfactory. With Obamacare, paramedics would be on the scene in no less than five minutes, and they would be union paramedics.

Thankfully Tom did not appear to be seriously injured ( I guess his CIA training helped him avoid serious injury). He needs to protect his pollen so that he can impregnate Katie once she is properly programmed.
