Commenting on the fender-bender incident, his rep explains the 'Twilight Saga' hunk 'has no knowledge of having bumped or damaged another car in the process' of making his escape from the photogs.

"Twilight Saga" heartthrob Robert Pattinson has got involved in a fender-bender. OK! Magazine reported that after a run-in with paparazzi, the 24-year-old actor ended up hitting a Kia parked near the driveway of a friend's house in Malibu on Saturday night, July 24 at around 9 P.M. when backing out of the place.

Confirming the incident did took place was the representative for the rumored boyfriend of Kristen Stewart. "Robert was pulling out of a parking space after a quiet day in Malibu yesterday and was relentlessly pursued by paparazzi," the rep detailed on the situation leading to the mishap. "He has no knowledge of having bumped or damaged another car in the process."

The "Water for Elephants" hunk was considerably lucky following the collision since Rob Gottschlich, the owner of the Kia, was not worried by the scrape. To OK!, he reasoned, "If I had a nice car like a Lexus or something, maybe [I would be concerned], but I've got an old Kia." Still, he joked, "I am going to ask Rob next time I see him for free tickets to the next 'Twilight' film."

Local police strengthened Gottschlich's comment of not making matter big. The authorities claimed they have not received any complaint regarding the fender-bender. "Nothing was reported that I can see," the Malibu Sheriff Watch Commander Scott Chew told the magazine the same day the collision took place.
