William Shatner was involved in a substantial looking car accident earlier today while out driving in Los Angeles. The Star Trek actor who recently became the oldest person to have ever traveled into space found himself in the middle of a nasty car crash when his Mercedes SUV collided with a sedan and sustained a significant amount of damage. However, in the images first shared in a report by TMZ, it appears that neither driver was injured in the incident as Shatner was seen clearing the street of crash debris and helping the other driver inspect their vehicle.

While there seemed to be no eye witnesses to the crash itself available, Shatner was photographed in the aftermath with the unidentified driver of the smaller car he collided with, which clearly took a hit to the front driver’s side that buckled the tire and left the car undriveable. An LAPD spokesman commented to Page Six that although an officer was at the scene, there was no accident report filed due to neither party being injured, but Shatner and the driver of the second vehicle did exchange insurance information. You can see video captured at the scene here.

While the woman’s car seemed to have come off badly, Shatner’s own vehicle didn’t fare much better in the crash, with the front bumper almost ripped off in the incident. It is certainly some miracle their neither party was seemingly injured in anyway, although it would be fair to assume that they were a little shaken up. Shatner appeared to be calm as he made a few calls after the accident and aided the woman from the other vehicle. All in all, it was a close encounter the 90- year-old probably could have lived without.

Shatner made history last month by joining Jeff Bezos on his second space flight on board Blue Origin to become the oldest person ever to have gone into space, and having boldly gone there many times in the fictional world of Star Trek almost 60 years ago, it was certainly an experience he was thrilled to have had. Shatner, who was preparing a documentary that would include his experience on board the intergalactic journey, was massively moved by the experience, as he relayed in a subsequent interview with Forbes, when he said:

“The view of space is absolute blackness. There’s no twirling, shining stars, no moon, no galaxies 13.8-billion light years away. There is just black, ominous space. It suggests eternal cold and death. But looking back on Earth, you see this mote of dust that’s our resting place, this fortunate oasis in the solar system, for sure, and everywhere else we can see. It made me very conscious of how fragile and small this oasis is. With that, I am filled with great sadness over what I know to be such a terrible time we’re going to have if we don’t do something immediately about global warming. We must have hope that with action we can allay that.”
