Just one day before Ryan Lochte announced Friday he is seeking professional help for alcohol addiction following a drunken incident in his California hotel room, a new report reveals he was involved in a car accident on Thursday.
A police report obtained by US Weekly reveals the Olympic swimmer, 34, was driving his Porsche Thursday, October 4 in Gainsville, Florida, when the driver in front of him slammed on his brakes around 9.45pm.
The police report reveals Lochte 'attempted to brake and veer right,' but he ended up striking a car on the rear passenger side.
The driver of the vehicle Lochte struck was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

'Ryan has been battling from alcohol addiction for many years and unfortunately it has become a destructive pattern for him,' Lochte's lawyer, Jeff Ostrow tells TMZ.
The stunning revelation comes after the 34-year-old Olympic swimmer was involved in a drunken tirade at a Southern California hotel Thursday morning in which he tried to kick in his hotel room door.
Police were called to the scene in Newport Beach around 3am but no arrests were made and Lochte was able to ease the situation with the hotel.

The incident prompted the 12-time Olympic medalist to acknowledge that his drinking is a serious issue that requires professional help before getting worse.
'He has acknowledged that he needs professional assistance to overcome his problem and will be getting help immediately.
'Ryan knows that conquering this disease now is a must for him to avoid making future poor decisions, to be the best husband and father he can be, and if he wants to achieve his goal to return to dominance in the pool in his 5th Olympics in Tokyo in 2020,' his lawyer said
The incident comes just weeks after marrying PlayBoy model Kayla Rae Reid, with whom he has a one-year-old child named Caiden.
This is not the first time Lochte has been involved in a drunken dispute.
In 2016, he was arrested in Brazil during the Rio De Janeiro Summer Olympics for vandalizing a gas station and then returning to the US and lying about the incident.
The incident became known as 'Lochtegate' after the swimmer admitted to 'over-exaggerating the story' that he and his teammates had been robbed at gunpoint at the gas station.

DailyMail.com debunked his claims after obtaining surveillance footage showing a drunken and jubilant Lochte urinating on the side of that gas station and vandalizing the property.
He later said in an interview that he had been drunk and was suspended from domestic and international swimming competitions for 10 months and lost his sponsors in the process.
Last year he was cleared of criminal charges in the Rio Olympics scandal. But Brazil's Superior Court overturned that decision in June.
'After Rio, I was probably the most hated person in the world. There were a couple of points where I was crying, thinking, "If I go to bed and never wake up, fine." Asked if that meant he had considered suicide, Lochte nodded, saying, "I was about to hang up my entire life,"' Lochte said in an interview with ESPN in 2017.
Months following Rio he got engaged Kayla Rae Reid and said the birth of their son in June 2017 changed things for him.

Trouble again: In May Lochte posted this photo receiving an IV treatment that violated the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency rules, landing him a 14-month suspension to end in July 2019
'That completely changed my life and completely changed me,' he said to USA Today.
'Honestly the reason why I came back is because of Caiden. There is more I wanted to accomplish in the sport of swimming, but my heart wasn’t there. We found out that we were having a child, and when Caiden was born, I was like, "That’s it. That’s what I needed." And this spark is a spark I’ve never had in my entire life. I can’t explain it. I’m more driven now than I have ever been,' he added.
He returned to competition in August 2017 but trouble stirred again this summer when he broke the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency rules by posting a photo of himself receiving an unapproved IV infusion on May 24.
He didn't have a therapeutic use exemption and the infusion was larger than the 100mL allowed over a 12-hour period - landing him a 14-month suspension as punishment.
The suspension will end in July 2019 and could jeopardize his hopes to land the 2020 Olympic team.
He said he got the IV – which contained mostly B-complex vitamins – to avoid catching his wife and son’s illness.
'A rule is a rule and I accept that there is a technical violation. I am hopeful that other athletes learn from my mistake,' he said to AP.
This was his second ban in less than two years.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
