Taylor’s rep told the publication: ‘Jax was involved in what he believed was a minor fender bender yesterday afternoon when his vehicle collided with the rear of the car in front of him while at a red light.
‘The driver immediately exited his vehicle, enraged which led to an unpleasant interaction between both parties.
‘Jax saw no visible damage to any of the vehicles or apparent injuries to anyone involved and therefore proceeded to leave the scene.
“Since this altercation, Jax has filed a claim with his insurance company to further investigate the details and will follow the recommendations provided by his insurance company.”
Police sources said the owner of the allegedly hit vehicle arrived at the police station and was told to file a report online, although it is unknown if he did so.
West says she and her boyfriend, who took photos of the alleged damage to the car, “will work to hold Taylor accountable.”

He complained that his ex ‘publicly humiliates him and calls him every name possible’, but then initiates contact.
Jax claimed that Brittany called him two days earlier to say, “Come over.” Do you want to have some drinks? Come. Do you want to flirt?’
He also alleged that his ex-wife added: “Don’t tell anyone I’m doing this.”
“People don’t know,” she continued, adding that she “talks all this shit.”
Jax claimed he didn’t want to “blow his cover,” despite airing their supposedly private conversation.
Brittany later shared her side of the story, leaving a comment on a clip of the interview that was shared on Instagram.
“Let me clarify that I was trying to see if we can be friends with our son and obviously WE CAN’T,” she wrote.
Elsewhere in the podcast appearance, Jax admitted to being “verbally abusive” to Brittany before entering an inpatient treatment facility for mental health issues earlier this year.
However, Cartwright was also recently a guest on the Hot Mic podcast and stated at the time that her ex-partner did not change ‘at all in those 30 days’ that he was in treatment.
“I think she really wants to see me fail,” Jax shared in response. “I think she wants to prove everyone right and to be honest, I haven’t done anything wrong since I came out. I’ve been too nice to her.
The two also remember the end of their marriage differently.
Taylor says it was his wife’s decision to end the marriage, and Brittany believes he ended the relationship.
She has also expressed feeling “relieved” that the two are no longer together.
