Daniel Baldwin Crashes Cars and Gets into a Hospital

Not everything goes always as we want it to. Even the celebs are not insured against the little (or not so little) life difficulties. As it was announced in the entertainment magazines, the actor, producer and director Daniel Baldwin was hospitalized with back and neck injuries and faced charges including irresponsible driving after crashing his car on a busy street in Los Angeles.

According to Los Angeles police spokesman Jason Lee, the entertainment star smashed his silver Ford Thunderbird into two cars that were parked o the street side. That happened after an officer saw him driving at more than 80 mph (128 kph) and weaving through traffic on bustling Bundy Drive on the city`s west side. "The officer tried to catch up to the Thunderbird, lost sight of it momentarily and came up to a traffic collision where the T-bird had crashed into two parked vehicles. The Thunderbird pushed one of the vehicles about 20 feet, and that was a Hummer," Lee said.

Baldwin`s license has been suspended and he was taken to UCLA Medical Center after complaining of back and neck injuries. Luckily for Baldwin, he was not driving under the influence, which would add to the existing charges. Baldwin, who has appeared in a number of films and television entertainment series is a member of an acting family of 4 brothers (Alec, Stephen and William Baldwin).
