Brad Pitt escaped uninjured after he crashed one of his beloved motorbikes in Los Angeles over the weekend.

The Inglourious Basterds star was riding through busy traffic on his motorcycle when he lost control while attempting to manoeuvre between cars, according to celebrity gossip site TMZ. Heis said to have accidentally clipped a parked vehicle with his handlebars, and toppled to the ground after swerving to avoid hitting another car stopped at a red light.

Brad was fine after the incident but mangled bike wouldn't start afterwards, and a tow-truck took the star and his machine home.

Brad’s another one of those stars we just can’t imagine missing from this year’s heat Hot 100 list so why not help salve his wounded pride with a vote or two?
