Ellen DeGeneres is accused of causing a 2023 collision in California, according to a new lawsuit.
In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, a woman is claiming that on Oct. 16, 2023, the former talk show host, 67, ignored a stop sign while driving in Santa Barbara County, and as a result, "t-boned" the woman's car. TMZ was first to report on Friday, Sept. 12.

PEOPLE did not immediately receive a response from attorneys for DeGeneres or the plaintiff.
According to the lawsuit, the "intersection [where the incident occurred] is controlled by stop signs in all directions."
The plaintiff claims she stopped for her stop sign and "made sure there were no other vehicles" present before driving forward; however, DeGeneres allegedly "suddenly and without any warning" collided into her vehicle and "t-boned" her, thus causing injury to the plaintiff.
"Ellen DeGeneres entered the intersection without stopping at the stop sign," the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit further accuses the comedian of exhibiting "negligent conduct [that] fell below the standard of care of a reasonable person," adding that DeGeneres "negligently caused, or contributed to causing plaintiff's vehicle to be collided with by the defendants' vehicle."
Additionally, the woman says she has suffered "multiple serious personal injuries and damages" as a result.
