Jax Taylor got into a “minor fender bender” and allegedly left the scene without exchanging insurance information with the other party.
According to TMZ, the “Valley” star bumped his black truck into a white Subaru sedan while stopping at a red light in Valley Village, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, on Wednesday.
The outlet obtained a Nextdoor post authored by a woman named Michelle West, alleging her boyfriend was the driver of the Subaru and was forced to chase Taylor down to a gas station nearby.
A video shared by TMZ showed the reality star and the unidentified man examining the damage before Taylor, 45, got into his truck and drove away.
The Subaru driver reportedly took a photo of the Bravo star’s license plate as he fled the scene.
Paparazzi stopped to talk to the victim, who claimed Taylor wouldn’t give him “any of his info.”
A rep for Taylor confirmed to Page Six that he was involved in a “minor” accident, explaining he decided to leave the scene when he saw there was “no visible damage to either vehicle and no apparent injuries.”
“Jax was involved in what he believed to be a minor fender bender yesterday afternoon when his vehicle bumped into the rear end of the car in front of him while at a red light,” a rep for the “Vanderpump Rules” star told Page Six.
“The driver immediately stepped out of his vehicle, enraged which caused an unpleasant interaction between both parties.”
The rep continued, “Since this altercation, Jax has filed a claim with his insurance company to investigate further into the details and will follow the recommendations provided by his insurance company.”
Per TMZ, the Subaru driver reported the accident to the police.
Taylor’s latest blow comes after a year of woes for the Bravolebrity amid his divorce from Brittany Cartwright, 35, and mental health treatment.
Over the summer, the father of one was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress, bipolar disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.
Taylor sought inpatient treatment for a month after learning his estranged wife was sending nudes to his pal Julian Sensley.
“I just saw the iPad, and she was still talking to Julian and sending him pictures, like naked pictures and pictures of my son, and I just lost it,” he said on Bravo’s “Hot Mic” episode on Nov. 14
“And that’s where I hit the bottom of the barrel. That’s where I just saw red,” he shared, admitting he “threw furniture.”
Cartwright defended her brief fling with Sensley on an episode of Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast earlier this month, saying she didn’t care if she “hurt” Taylor’s feelings.
Taylor and Cartwright — who share 3-year-old son, Cruz — announced their separation in February after five years of marriage.
