Actor Alan Ruck, known for his roles in HBO’s “Succession” and the hit 1980s film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” was questioned by police after he crashed into a California restaurant.

TMZ first reported that the 67-year-old was involved in a multi-vehicle accident in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

The “Spin City” star ended up with the front of his car wedged into a pizza restaurant but does not appear to have sustained any serious injuries.

Surveillance footage appeared to show Ruck hit another vehicle from behind in his Rivian truck, setting off a series of collisions.

TMZ reported that two people were injured in the crash. According to KTLA-TV, one man was hospitalized and the restaurant sustained structural damage.

Ruck was spotted at the scene of the incident talking to police.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation, according to KTLA. TMZ reported that there is “no indication” that any of the drivers involved in the accident were intoxicated.

Some social media users couldn’t help but connect the incident to one of Ruck’s iconic scenes in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

In the 1986 comedy, Ruck’s character Cameron Frye crashes his father’s classic Ferrari through a glass garage wall and into a ravine while in a fit of rage.

Someone has to stop letting Cameron being around cars. Bad things happen.

Seriously… I hope Alan Ruck is okay. https://t.co/DNycyxeSP3

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

What if you woke up one morning and half of the people you count on had just vanished overnight?

That happened to me recently. I got up, came to work here at The Western Journal, and when I got to my office, literally half of our readers had vanished. They were just gone. We had been nuked by Facebook, and it had happened almost instantly.

But it was even worse. Facebook hit us at the same time 90 percent of advertisers had essentially boycotted us. "Brutal" is a word I’ve used a lot lately.

The fight for the truth is brutal. The fight for America’s soul is brutal. What the government is doing to Jan. 6 detainees is brutal. What surgeons are doing to confused children is brutal.

It’s a fight we must win. But we can’t win without you.

A membership to The Western Journal will go much farther than you think. It costs less than a cup of Starbucks coffee, and for that small price you get access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles — you’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight against leftism.

Can I count on you to join today? We need your help. Benjamin Franklin summed up the situation we're all facing when he said, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

We plan to hang in and fight. Please help us. Please become a member today.

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
