LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles Police Department is looking into the possibility movie actor Orlando Bloom committed a hit-and-run last week, TMZ.com said Tuesday.

Bloom was involved in an early morning accident minutes after he left a Hollywood club.

Fashion stylist Cher Coulter, who was sitting in the backseat of the car Bloom was driving, suffered a fractured neck when he allegedly crashed the car into a parked Porsche.

He then began walking away from the scene, TMZ.com said, noting X17 has video of paparazzi repeatedly urging Bloom to return to the scene, which he finally did.

During an interview with police, Bloom said an SUV with paparazzi cut him off and caused the crash.

The LAPD said they are investigating that possibility as well.

Bloom was not given a field sobriety test following the accident.

When asked why, one detective said the decision whether to administer one is an officer's subjective judgment call.

TMZ.com said Bloom's representatives did not respond to its request for a comment.
