David Arquette Tweets That He's 'Fine' After Car Crash

'Remember to wear your seatbelt-wish I was,' actor writes following head-on collision.

While it was reported that David Arquette was lying on the ground and bleeding after a [article id="1659293"]head-on car crash[/article] Friday (March 4), the recently embattled actor took to Twitter hours later to let his followers know he's going to be OK.

"I got into a car accident but I'm fine," he tweeted, adding a quip about tiger-blooded fellow actor Charlie Sheen. "Luckily I have dragon's blood running through my veins. Haha Thank you for all your concern."

A few minutes before that message, Arquette tweeted, "Remember to wear your seatbelt-wish I was."

According to TMZ, Arquette was driving in West Hollywood, California, when his car veered into oncoming traffic. A photograph posted on the site showed Arquette lying on his back in the grass with his eyes closed and his hands crossed over his chest.

The "Scream 4" actor has had a difficult few months beginning last October when he and his wife of 11 years, [article id="1649757"]Courteney Cox, announced their plans to separate[/article]. Since that announcement, Arquette spent time at a rehabilitation facility to deal with alcohol abuse and "other issues."

"Everybody's worried and concerned about me," Arquette said during one of a series of revealing interviews with friend and radio host Howard Stern. "I've been drinking a lot because I'm heartbroken. It's really a personal, traumatic thing. ... When I drink, I become a maniac."

Arquette had previously revealed to Stern details about his sex life with his ex and his distress over the separation. At the time he checked into rehab earlier this year, Courteney Cox told People magazine, "I really admire David and his choice to take charge and better his life. I love and support him."
