LeVar Burton has been injured in a five-car accident in Los Angeles.

The actor, known for his roles in Roots, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Reading Rainbow, had a 74-year-old woman turn right in front of him.

Police have said that there were no serious injuries but Burton was taken to the hospital following complaints of neck pain. He was treated and released.

Burton lives in L.A. with his daughter and was recently featured as one of Babble’s Crushes of the Week, which must rank right up there with his Emmy nomination.

We’re very glad to hear that Mr. Burton is okay!
