Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte was reportedly involved in a car crash the same day he drunkenly tried to kick down his own hotel door in Newport Beach, California.

According to TMZ Sports, a police report alleged the 34-year-old rear-ended a car with his Porsche in Gainesville, Florida, when he was driving home from the airport Thursday. Lochte was cited for careless driving, while the driver of the car he hit was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

"There's no mention of alcohol in the police report," TMZ reported.

The crash reportedly occurred around 9:45 p.m. ET, while the incident at the hotel took place around 6 a.m. ET.

Lochte's attorney, Jeff Ostrow, released a statement to TMZ on Friday confirming his client will seek professional help to treat his alcohol addiction:

"Ryan has been battling alcohol addiction for many years and unfortunately it has become a destructive pattern for him.

"He has acknowledged that he needs professional assistance to overcome his problem and will be getting help immediately."
