Keanu Reeves runs from camerasTMZ has learned that actor Keanu Reeves was involved in an injury traffic collision with a paparazzo in Southern California yesterday.

According to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, "Mr. Reeves pulled out of a parking space, parallel to the curb, and grazed a paparazzo" with his 1996 Porsche, around 8:45 PM Monday night in Rancho Palos Verdes.

The Sheriff's Dept. claims that the man then, "fell to the ground," and "paramedics were summoned." The photog was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was treated for unknown injuries. Reeves was not injured during the accident.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. is investigating the collision.

Calls to Reeves' reps were not immediately returned.

That's right near my house. I read the article and figured he was just rolling a 996 (safe bet).
Didn't know we had any paparazzi way down in PV- thought they were all camped out at The Ivy in WeHo.

Wonder if he's ready to sell? Who knew bumper rash was caused by paparazzi?

Pic clearly shows a black 993. Hopefully the car was unharmed in the incident!

Oh no...that's terrible news!

Was the 993 scratched or dented?

Well, what little respect he garnered for his role in Thumbsucker, has now been lost with this Porsche abuse case.

He must be a porsche guy - I have a magazine at home that shows him driving his 996. Maybe Keanu thought the glass headlights of the 993 would be better when hitting someone.

I wonder if the paparazzi was able to see if he drives without the engine tray when he was down there!! Funny how these guys with cameras never capture one of their own after being rolled by the demon sent from Stuttgart.

Looks to me like he needs HIDs, turbo bumper, clear corners, lowered suspension....

hey Ed, Is that your son in the pic? He looks a lot like actor Paul Bettany:
