Both legends escaped without any harm

Arnold’s accident was the recent one. The accident happened in Los Angeles, where Arnold was driving his large SUV. The four-vehicle crash happened when Arnold’s SUV and a red Prius collided and eventually ended up hitting the other two vehicles.

Arnold, fortunately, escaped unharmed. On the other hand, the woman suffered minor head injuries and was taken to the hospital.

In 2012, Michael Phelps beat the seven times Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger to become the fittest man ever. Although, it was not surprising that the greatest Olympian is the fittest. You cannot simply win 23 gold medals and create those many records if you are not the fit.
