If you ever need an example of when you really need your friends, this is one of them. On his way to record an interview with Ted Danson for the ‘Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend’ podcast, Tobias Beckett actor Woody Harrelson collided with a Tesla and flew over the handlebars and the bonnet of the car before landing on the tarmac. Fortunately he was wearing a crash hemet, but as he explains it could have been worse.
“A tumble is a fair term. I did go over my handlebars,” Harrelson revealed on the podcast following the accident. “I was honestly and embarrassingly passing this Tesla on the left that I felt was moving a little slow and I didn’t realize he was moving slow because he was taking a left. I was on a motorcycle.”
“I always feel like the shortest distance between two points in L.A. is a motorcycle. But today it proved not to be so very fast in terms of transporting. … I always thought I would be ok. I felt there was some pain involved. I felt the pain but I never thought I’d be killed or anything or maimed.”
Fortunately Danson was on hand to helpo patch him up, but a lucky escape for the Solo: A Star Wars Story star.
