The Lethal Weapon star, who reportedly fell asleep behind the wheel, has been left with a hefty bill to fix his high-performance wheel after it sustained significant front-end damage.
The photos show the right front bashed in back to the tire, which appears to have come off the axle.
The car was so damaged it had to be towed, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.
Cops have insisted alcohol was not a factor like it was in Mel’s now-notorious 2006 DUI arrest.

Why doesn't he donate his expensive car to someone who would appreciate it. He "doesn't deserve"
his car. The next thing he will drive will be the prison food truck.

Wonder over the years how many people Mel has provided jobs for with his films? Can you say that you have helped that many people Diandra? By the way, lack of sleep accounts for many accidents.

Probably in a drunken rage after giving the baby back to her mother. He’s a violent, dangerous control freak with no self control & should be locked up before he kills more witnesses like the nanny. my opinions only

Sleep deprivation accounted for 24,318 car accidents in 1998. Lack of sleep is lethal on the road. Remember that when you or a family member gets behind a wheel. An accident like this can happen to anyone.

Chances are Mel was distracted : Possibly on his cell phone or blackberry If it was attempted suicide he blew it. Besides he is catholic and it is a sin to commit suicide.

Jeez, the Mel Machine just gets meaner and meaner and meaner with the paid posters all chiming in that Oksana caused Mel's latest FU. Doesn't Mel realize how bad he looks with his mean campaign? Glad he's not running for office!

Oksana will get what she deserves as the judge has not upped her child support. Since the present claim is sleep deprivation take a lesson from it and make sure you or your family does not get behind the wheel when tired.
