"Friends" star Matthew Perry, 30, escaped injury on Saturday when he crashed his Porsche in Los Angeles. Perry was driving on a narrow street in the Hollywood Hills when he crashed his car into a residential porch, reports the Associated Press. Sgt. Paul Partridge is quoted as saying that no police report was made following the accident. "Mr. Perry was driving downhill, and he swerved to avoid another vehicle, probably coming the other direction. He wasn't able to regain control and ran off the road," Partridge told reporters. As recently as last week, Perry was hospitalized in Los Angeles for mysterious stomach pains. He and his "Friends" costars inked a deal to stay with the hit sitcom for another two years, with each expected to earn $40 million.
