Arnold Schwarzenegger has one less legal battle over his driving to worry about.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a woman named Joanne Flickinger has dropped her civil lawsuit against the Terminator star over a 2023 crash.
Arnold still has another driving-related lawsuit to deal with.
Flickinger said she was dismissing the entire suit without prejudice — meaning she could refile the claims in the future.
In her lawsuit, Flickinger claimed the entertainer accidentally drove his SUV into her while she was riding a bike in LA traffic on February 5, 2023.
The incident happened on San Vicente Blvd. in Hollywood.
The woman accused the actor of being negligent.
“[Schwarzenegger’s] negligence caused the [Schwarzenegger’s] vehicle to strike [Flickinger], causing severe injuries to [Flickinger],” the suit read.
Flickinger accused Schwarzenegger of having “negligently managed, maintained, repaired, drove, and/or operated their vehicle as to proximately cause the collision and permanent injuries to [Flickinger].”
Flickinger claimed the entertainer had been speeding and failed to keep a proper lookout.
Her lawsuit demanded unspecified damages for her alleged pain and suffering — along with reimbursement for medical bills. In response, Schwarzenegger denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
