Actor David Arquette was involved in a head-on collision Friday afternoon in the 600 block of North Doheny Drive, on the border of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. 

The collision occurred at the intersection of Elevado Avenue and North Doheny Drive around 2:10 p.m., according to Sgt. Shan Davis of the Beverly Hills Police Department. 

Arquette was driving behind a vehicle that stopped suddenly and he swerved to the left to avoid hitting the car and went into oncoming traffic, TMZ.com reported, citing witnesses at the scene. Arquette allegedly slammed into a car going in the opposite direction. TMZ has exclusive video taken at the scene of the accident. 

Davis says the drivers of the vehicles were the only two occupants and both were transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with minor to moderate injuries. There were no other injuries reported. 

Arquette has been separated from his wife, Courtney Cox (Friends, Cougar Town), since October and recently appeared on Oprah where he discussed his struggles with alcohol.
