Orlando Bloom cleared over car smash

Orlando Bloom will not face charges after a car crash in Hollywood, US authorities have announced.

The star was accused of attempting to "hit and run" after videos of the incident, taken by paparazzi who were following him, showed him walking away.

But an official report into the accident earlier this month said there was no evidence of drink driving or any wrongdoing and no charges would be pressed.

A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney added: "There was insufficient evidence he was trying to get away".

The incident, in which Bloom crashed into a parked car, left two passengers in need of hospital treatment.
