Angelina's bodyguards in hit and run
Related Articles
13 October 2006
Witnesses told police the Tomb Raider actress' two body guards ran a red light in their black 4x4, hit a couple on a motorcycle and drove off.
The guards were following Angelina's car as it ferried her from her hotel to the film set of 'A Mighty Heart', in Pune. The couple have not yet been named.
On Wednesday Angelina's car knocked over a cyclist while trying to dodge paparazzi.
The cyclist, 19-year-old Mittal Rawat, wasn't seriously injured. He reportedly said: "One vehicle knocked me off my bike but just sped away."
Meanwhile, Angelina has sparked a race row after being cast in A Mighty Heart as the mixed race widow of murdered US journalist Daniel Pearl.
The casting decision has angered black campaign groups who are furious a white woman has been chosen for the role.
One website, blacklooks.org, claims: "It is 2006 and I had assumed that the days when white actors took on roles of black people had long passed away."
In the film – which is being produced by the actress' boyfriend Brad Pitt - Angelina plays French journalist Mariane Pearl, who was five months pregnant when her husband was kidnapped by Islamic extremists in Pakistan in 2002. The Wall Street Journal reporter was later beheaded.
