A routine bike ride turned into a trip to the hospital for one older actor as news sources confirmed that Gene Hackman was struck by a car while riding his bicycle in the Florida Keys. At this time, the bicycle accident is still under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP). The initial police report shows that the actor was riding his bike around 3:30 p.m. when he was struck by a car. Although his injuries are being classified as non-life-threatening, he was transported by medical helicopter to a trauma center in Jackson.
He reportedly received several injuries to his leg and body. While some reports stated that the 81-year-old actor had sustained serious head injuries, those reports were quickly dismissed by his spokeswoman. Hackman was released from the hospital just a few hours after being admitted with some bumps and bruises. Have you recently been injured in a bicycle accident?
