According to Us Weekly who broke the news of the 31 year-old actor’s accident, he was very lucky. ”His brakes went out and the car flipped over,” the actor’s publicist, Susan Patricola, told the magazine. ”But he’s doing fine. He may be very sore in the morning, but right now he is doing okay.”
Although the accident was very serious, Phoenix was not hospitalised. His exact injuries are not known, although they appear not to be severe.
Joaquin Phoenix won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film Walk the Line.
