According to published reports, the "Get Him to The Greek" actor, who is engaged to pop singer Katy Perry, had just left the set of his upcoming film "Arthur" when a truck ploughed into the back of his $238,000 Lamborghini Superleggera.

According to the British newspaper Daily Mirror, the 35-year-old actor escaped with minor injuries. Stunned witnesses watched Russell, trapped in the passenger's seat, struggle ro climb out the driver's door.

A source told the newspaper that "the whole incident was pretty terrifying. Russell was very shaken."

"He refused to go to A&E despite severe bruising on his arm and cuts. He's gutted as he'd only just taken loan of the car."
