Via TMZ:
Tony Cox — who starred alongside Billy Bob Thornton as his elf sidekick in the ‘Bad Santa’ films — just delivered a terrible gift to an unlucky kid … a foot injury and a busted up bike.
The veteran actor struck the boy on his bike Thursday in L.A. as he was turning right onto a street, while the kid was cruising through the crosswalk. As you can see … the collision resulted in the bicycle’s front tire getting pinned under Tony’s ride. We’re told the kid suffered an injury to his foot as he was knocked off his Schwinn … but was alert and conscious after the accident. EMTs arrived shortly afterward and he was taken to the hospital … thank God he was wearing a helmet. We’ve placed a call in with the LAPD who says they’re still investigating the incident. Law enforcement sources tell us the incident was an accident and the actor is not at fault. He was not arrested and was not issued a summons for the collision.
