Gary Busey Allegedly Involved in Hit-and-Run Incident on Pacific Coast Highway
Surprisingly, Gary Busey owns a Volvo C30, quite an understated choice for a movie star. However, what’s far less glamorous is the recent incident where the 79-year-old actor reportedly collided with another motorist on California’s Pacific Coast Highway and then allegedly attempted to flee the scene.
The Hit-and-Run Incident
The incident occurred on Wednesday, August 30, as Busey pulled out of a shopping center and onto the highway. The woman he ran into claims that the celebrity rear-ended her, then tried to simply drive away.
Following the accident, the woman started filming and, in a video shared with TMZ, she can be seen pulling next to Busey and yelling at him to stop as they drive down the highway. Eventually, the two stop at a restaurant, where the confrontation continues.
Request for Insurance Details
The woman, who has not been named, continues to ask Busey for his insurance details while shooting footage of the front of his Volvo, which does appear to be dented. She also shared photos of the damage to the rear of her vehicle with TMZ.
As she pleads with Busey to provide her with insurance information, he simply tells her that he’s “private,” before revealing that he’s insured with Progressive. Unfortunately, the actor can be seen driving away from the woman, who claims that he did not provide her with the necessary information following the scrape.
Legal Consequences
Local law enforcement has confirmed that the woman in this story did file a hit-and-run report with detectives. They say that they are investigating the incident, which may be bad news for Busey because leaving the scene of an accident that results in property damage can lead to serious consequences.
Busey’s driving history isn’t exactly spotless either. In 2015, he faced accusations of backing into a woman in a Malibu shopping center, as reported by the LA Times. However, no charges were filed in connection with that incident.
Conclusion
Gary Busey’s recent alleged involvement in a hit-and-run incident on the Pacific Coast Highway has raised concerns about his driving behavior. The woman involved in the accident claims that Busey rear-ended her and attempted to flee the scene. The incident was captured on video and shared with TMZ, showing the confrontation between the two parties.
As the investigation continues, Busey may face legal consequences for leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in property damage. This incident adds to Busey’s driving history, which includes a previous accusation of backing into a woman in a shopping center. While no charges were filed in that case, it raises questions about the actor’s driving habits.
It remains to be seen how this recent incident will unfold and what impact it will have on Gary Busey’s reputation and legal standing. As a public figure, it is important for celebrities to uphold responsible and lawful behavior, especially when it comes to operating a vehicle.
