But this one wasn't his fault. Los Angeles police say Perry, 31, was heading west down Santa Monica Boulevard at about 11:45 a.m., when an unidentified 75-year-old woman failed to yield, pulling her '89 Ford Escort into oncoming traffic. The car collided with Perry's gray 2000 Beamer.

Officer Eduardo Funes says there were no injuries other than a "minor abrasion" on Perry's forearm (the actor reportedly sought his own medical treatment), but he says both cars were banged up in the crash. "The Ford received major damage to its left side, and the BMW received major damage to the front side," Funes said.

Police say the woman was at fault in the collision, but there were no arrests, and there are no charges pending. Funes says there's no indication either driver was intoxicated at the time of the crash.

This is hardly the best timing for Perry, who over the past year has already faced a string of personal problems and addiction-related troubles. Last May, the actor crashed his Porsche into the porch of a Hollywood Hills home, shortly after being hospitalized for acute pancreatitis, a rare inflammation caused partly by years of alcohol abuse and prescription drugs.

Then in February, Perry's work on Friends and the upcoming movie Servicing Sara was halted, after he abruptly checked himself into rehab--reportedly for a dependence on Vicodin, methadone and speed.

The wise-cracking actor returned to the set of Friends last month, in time to shoot the final episodes of the NBC sitcom's seventh season, including the much-anticipated May 17 wedding episode with Perry and Courteney Cox Arquette.

Perry's publicist could not immediately be reached for comment on Wednesday's collision.
