Rosanna Arquette, 63, accidentally hits car at Malibu mall … but “no one was hurt” though actress was “shaken up.”
Rosanna Arquette accidentally crashed her car into the Point Dume Village Malibu mall Tuesday morning.
“We can confirm that Rosanna Arquette was involved in a traffic accident in Malibu,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement to People.
Los Angeles Fire Station 71 Captain Mike Rivera told the Malibu Times that “thankfully no one was injured” in the collision.
Arquette, 63, was taken to the hospital anyway for safety’s sake and appeared to be “a little shaken up by what happened,” Rivera said.
Apparently, she was not impaired by alcohol or drugs at the time of the incident. The exact cause has yet to be investigated, authorities told Fox News.
‘Shaken’: Rosanna Arquette accidentally drove her car into the Malibu mall Point Dume Village on Tuesday morning
Various emergency responders, including the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Malibu/Lost Sheriff’s Station, arrived at Point Dume Village after the crash.
“Around 9:45 a.m. a vehicle tried to park. It wasn’t known exactly what happened, but instead of backing out, it went forward and destroyed three pillars supporting the roof,” Rivera said. “Luckily nobody was.” “Injured, we had two tables nearby but luckily nobody was sitting there.”
He added: “Right now we’re just waiting for the engineers to deem the building safe and make sure it’s safe.”
Rivera announced affected businesses would have to remain closed for at least three to five hours, with his department on site “to make sure it doesn’t collapse.”
Located in the Point Dume Village mall is local favorite Lily’s Malibu, a restaurant that has been around for about a quarter of a century.
