LOS ANGELES, March 8 (UPI) -- Action film star Tom Cruise was seen limping after a weekend motorcycle accident in Los Angeles, witnesses said.

The New York Daily News reported the "Valkyrie" and "Top Gun" star's Ducati bike spun out into an intersection Sunday while he tried to avoid crashing into a car after the driver of a sport utility vehicle allegedly ran a stop sign.

"It was like a scene from 'Mission Impossible,'" a witness told the Web site HollywoodLife.com, referring to Cruise's popular thriller franchise.

The Daily News said five people ran to help Cruise, 47, who was seen struggling to get up and limping slightly after the incident.
