Oh Lordy! Passion Star in Motorcycle Mishap

Walking on water. Check. Getting crucified and resurrected. Got that covered. Riding a motorbike? Maybe he might want to leave that to the Hell's Angels.

Jim Caviezel
, the actor famed for playing Jesus in Mel Gibson's 2004 blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, narrowly escaped serious injury Thursday in Washington after a man inexplicably threw a bicycle in front of his Harley-Davidson, causing him to crash.

"Mr. Caviezel was riding his motorcycle on I-97 and a pedestrian pushing a bicycle for some reason threw it into the lane of travel," Washington State Patrol officer Rich Magnussen tells E! News.

Apparently someone upstairs was keeping an eye on him.

Caviezel, 40, was thrown from his bike but only sustained minor cuts and abrasions.

"Luckily he had all the proper safety equipment on," noted the trooper. "He was treated at a nearby hospital and released."

As for the bike-thrower, identified as 42-year-old David Nelson, he could end up paying for his sin.

Officers on the scene interviewed several witnesses who allegedly saw him throw the bike, and plan to refer the case after an investigation to the local prosecutor's office for possible assault and reckless endangerment charges.

Caviezel isn't the only celeb hitting the skids these days. Check out E! Online's report on Mischa Barton's medical mystery
