Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps has been involved in a two-vehicle accident in downtown Baltimore. Phelps’ Cadillac Escalade collided with a Honda Accord at the intersection of North Calvert Street and East Biddle Street.
There were two passengers in the Escalade, including Phelps, and the other vehicle had a female driver. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the woman was “shaken up” and as a precaution was taken to a local hospital. Phelps and the second person in his SUV were uninjured.
According to the AP, Phelps was interviewed by police on the scene and alcohol was not a factor. (There was no mention of marijuana)
Here are a couple videos from the scene, including a statement by Anthony Gugliemi of the Baltimore Police Department:

Wow, I guess running a red light can be a simple mistake but seriously this guy needs to be careful. He is lucky he didn’t kill anyone.
From what I understand, the other driver ran the red light.
