Lawmakers should require car manufacturers to automatically limit the speed of vehicles in cities to certain speed zones. Would reduce accidents and high-speed police chases… pic.twitter.com/9uLja72y1q

Aside from the woman complaining of arm pain, authorities said there were no serious injuries in the collision. A Los Angeles Fire Department representative told NBC News that a 32-year-old man was taken to a hospital following the collision. However, it was not known how seriously he was injured or how involved he was in the collision.
CCTV footage from the pizzeria captures the moment Mr Ruck’s truck sideswiped a car parked at a stop sign, sped past the intersection and narrowly dodged another car stopped at a nearby intersection before crashing into the building bounced. Although the cause of the incident remains under investigation, Los Angeles Police Department investigators said they do not believe drugs or alcohol played a role.
According to the owner of a nearby restaurant, Mr. Ruck appeared worried and concerned about the well-being of those involved in the accident. “I asked him, ‘Are you OK?’ And the first thing that came out of his mouth was, “Is everyone (else) okay?” I think I hit someone. “Is he OK?” Tim Ratcliff, who owns several restaurants, told TMZ. “The whole building shook and I thought a bomb or something had exploded,” he added.
Walter Rosales, the owner of Raffallo’s, spoke to CBS News and said, “The good thing is, no one was in the bathroom. It was really hard last night, all the people crying… because they know us, you know, for so many years they cried and thanked God because we were alive.
On Thursday, the 67-year-old actor was spotted leaving a supermarket in Los Angeles. He was limping and wore a knee brace on his left knee. He told the outlet that the injury had nothing to do with the accident but was a sign of “age.” Speaking about the accident, Mr Ruck said: “I’m fine. Thank God no one was killed.”
