A photographer has filed a lawsuit against Keanu Reeves after the actor allegedly crashed into him in a Porsche.

The lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court said Reeves struck Alison Silva on March 19. At the time of the accident, authorities said the person Reeves struck was a male photographer.

The suit seeks an unspecified amount in damages and alleges Silva suffered shock and serious bodily injuries.

A lawyer for Reeves did not immediately return a phone message Monday evening.

Reports at the time of the accident said Reeves was leaving a parking space about 50 kilometres south of downtown Los Angeles when he hit Silva.

A lawyer for Reeves said at the time Silva was blocking Reeves’ way and if there was a collision, it was not hard enough to cause injuries.

Jennifer Connelly will star opposite Keanu Reeves in a remake of the 1951 sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still. She will portray the part of a widow and young mother who meets Reeves’s character, Klaatu, an extraterrestrial who attempts to convince mankind to live peacefully or face annihilation from other planets. Filming is due to start next year, with the director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Scott Derrickson, at the helm.
