Keanu Reeves cleared of hitting photographer

Jury unanimously reject lawsuit filed by Alison Silva

Keanu Reeves is relieved the case is over after 18 months

Keanu Reeves has been cleared of hitting a paparazzo with his Porsche 911.

The actor was accused of driving into Alison Silva 18 months ago in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

The photographer claimed his wrist was hurt so badly that he couldn’t work for 6 months. He wanted £400,000 for lost earnings and medical costs.

But the Superior Court cleared Keanu, 44, of any liability in the case after a 5-day trial, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Keanu, who attended the hearing, maintains that Alison fell over his own feet and fell to the ground as he edged his car forward.
