Orlando Bloom: Celebrity Justice?
X17 has posted unedited video of Orlando Bloom's accident on Thursday night. For all the people who said that there is no way Orlando would walk off and leave his friends injured, I invite you to look at the footage shot that night.
Apparently, the police have been in touch with the X17 photo agency, who told LAPD that they did not witness the accident (too far back in the parade).  There are reports of another vehicle which may have caused the accident. However, Orlando and his party were caught making a few illegal U-turns that night, and almost hit another car earlier while attempting a turn.
And now TMZ is reporting that Orlando may get off scot-free.
Before they left the club, you can see the blonde in the back seat (Cher Coulter) lying down, probably on the reclined rear seat. She did not have on a seat belt. California law requires a seat belt for all passengers. It is unclear if she raised the seat and put on her seat belt before the accident.
You can, again, clearly see Orlando leaving the scene of the accident. He pulls his hood over his head and says, "Guys." He is clearly walking away and leaving until the photographers stopped him. He looks surprised that he could be charged with a hit and run, and I believe that is what made him return to his vehicle.
When he arrives back at his car, you can clearly see the girl in the back is holding her head and she has been bleeding. His passenger is also holding her neck (apparently the seat belt cut her neck). Wounds to the front of the face/forehead bleed practically immediately and profusely...I know because I had a similar injury in a car accident.
You also see him later taking something out of his other friend's hand and pop it into his mouth...a mint, perhaps? Was he trying to cover up something? It was reported earlier in the night that he had the smell of alcohol on his breath.
X17 says this:
As X17 previously reported, an X17 eyewitness saw Orlando at the Green Door Lounge earlier that night at "a table that had Grey Goose." Our source also noted that Orlando not only "was drinking a clear beverage" the entire night, but that he "definitely stumbled on his way out to the car" while leaving. This behavior was highly unusual for Orlando, whose demeanor is typically much different.
If drinking, or drinking this much, is indeed "highly unusual" for Orlando, perhaps he was not used to having that quantity of alcohol in his system. In video shot before the accident, all three seem somewhat tipsy, at least; in video shot after the accident, he does not appear outwardly drunk in what we can see and hear (admittedly you can't hear much). However, there is no way that you can tell if a person has had too much to drink just by looking at them, as OK has reported happened that night with the LAPD.
