A Notable Car Accident
Jax Taylor, star of the reality show Vanderpump Rules, caused a “minor collision” when his black truck hit a white Subaru in Valley Village, Los Angeles. The incident occurred on Wednesday while Taylor was stopped at a red light. Following the collision, Taylor reportedly left the scene without exchanging insurance information with the other party, raising questions about his responsibility in the incident.
Details of the Incident
A woman named Michelle West, who claimed her boyfriend was driving the Subaru, said they had to chase Taylor to a nearby gas station. A video shared by TMZ showed Jax inspecting the damage with an unidentified man before getting back into his truck and driving away. The Subaru driver took a photo of Jax’s license plate as he left the scene, underscoring the victim’s attention to the situation and the potential for further action.
Statement from Jax’s Representative
Paparazzi interviewed the victim, who asserted that Taylor refused to provide any information. Jax’s representative confirmed to Page Six that he had been involved in a “minor accident,” explaining that he decided to leave the scene as there was “no visible damage to either vehicle and no injuries.” “Jax was involved in a minor fender bender, which he believed occurred when his vehicle bumped into the rear of the car in front while stopped at a red light,” the representative stated, attempting to downplay the situation.
The Incident and Legal Consequences
According to TMZ, the Subaru driver reported the accident to the police. While Taylor appeared to try handling the situation reasonably, his decision not to exchange insurance information could lead to serious legal issues. The lack of communication after the incident raises concerns about accountability and the potential repercussions he may face.
