\"Map:<\/img><\/a> The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in West Hollywood canceled classes Monday after a car crashed through the wall of the renowned performing arts school on Santa Monica Boulevard.<\/p>\n

No one was injured in the Friday afternoon accident near Hayworth Avenue<\/a>, which occurred when a Mercedes S500 rear-ended a stationary Toyota Camry. The Camry then \u201ccareened from the street, over the sidewalk, and through our wall as if it was desperate to take a seat in the Stage Lee theatre. He almost made it to the back row,\u201d David Lee Strasberg, the school’s creative director and chief executive, wrote on its website.<\/p>\n

\nIt appeared the Camry driver, who was in his 80s, was attempting to pull over to the side of the street after his car was rear-ended, and he may have mistaken the gas pedal for the brake, said Sgt. Kristin Aloma of the West Hollywood Sheriff\u2019s station.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There was no structural damage to the building, David Strasberg, son of famed acting teacher Lee Strasberg, who founded the studio in 1969 with his wife, Anna, wrote on the website.<\/p>\n

The school plans to resume classes Tuesday.<\/p>\n
