Default James Caviezel Accident

I was listening to the news this morning before heading out to work and I could not believe what I heard. Apparently, the actor James Caviezel from the movie "Passion of the Christ" was involved in a motorcycle accident Thursday afternoon/evening in Leavenworth, WA.

What I found unbelievable was how he was involved in the accident -

SOMEBODY TOSSED A BICYCLE IN FRONT OF HIM AS HE WAS DRIVING HIS HARLEY DAVIDSON DOWN THE STREET!!!

Bad enough we have to look out for people and cars - now we have to look out for flying bikes???

Whether you are fan of this actor or not, this is just nuts and could have happened to any one of us!!

Ride Safe

James Caviezel injured in motorcycle accident

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEAVENWORTH, Wash. -- The Washington State Patrol says actor James Caviezel suffered minor injuries when a man hurled a bicycle into the path of his motorcycle about 14 miles southeast of Leavenworth.
Caviezel, who portrayed Jesus in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," was injured Thursday afternoon. Trooper Rich Magnussen says the actor was taken to Cascade Medical Center in this northcentral Washington city for treatment of cuts and bruises.
Magnussen says the 40-year-old Caviezel, of Woodland Hills, Calif., was wearing a helmet, and adds, "it could have been a lot worse." The trooper says he doesn't know why the actor was in the Leavenworth area.
Caviezel was born in Mount Vernon, Wash.
There was no indication why the man tossed the bike into the path of Caviezel's 2006 Harley Davidson but Magnussen says mental issues may be involved. Troopers plan to forward their investigation to the Chelan County prosecutor's office for possible charges against a 42-year-old Wenatchee man.

I wonder if he yelled, " oh me-christ" when it happened.

That should be considered attempted murder.

Apparently he's had several close calls since portraying Christ in the movie. Including lightning bolts according to the rumor mill.

He's a cousin of a family friend. Didn't know about the accident...I'll have to inquire about him. In the meantime, he'll be in my prayers for a quick recovery.

Thanks for the post
