Katie Holmes & Suri's Car Hit by Garbage Truck

Nearly three weeks after filing for divorce from Tom Cruise, life in New York City isn't without a few bumps in the road for Katie Holmes – literally.

The Mercedes she was traveling in with daughter Suri, 6, was hit by a garbage truck Monday night, police confirm. No one was injured.

The mother-daughter duo were leaving the Chelsea Piers recreational center – not far from their new Manhattan apartment – when a turning garbage truck rammed into their Mercedes, according to a source.



"Suri was crying in the car," says the source, who adds that Holmes, 33, was not driving.

Once Holmes and her daughter were back home, a police report was filed.

This is the second time their car has been hit in four days. Last Friday, a paparazzi car hit their vehicle as they were pulling home after a trip to the FAO Schwarz toy store.

Still, life in N.Y.C. doesn't seem to be slowing down for Suri and Holmes, who was granted primary custody of her daughter, according to sources. The two have been photographed shopping at pet stores, feeding alpacas at the Central Park Zoo and enjoying an icy treat in between.

Rafael Nadal will not be competing in the London Olympics, he announced Thursday.

"I am not in condition to compete in the London Olympics and therefore will not travel as planned with the Spanish delegation to take part in the Games," he said in a statement to the Associated Press.

"I have to think about my companions, I can't be selfish and I have to think of what's best for Spanish sport, especially tennis and Spanish players, and give fellow sportsmen with better preparation the chance to compete."

Nadal – who won the men's singles gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics – has been battling knee problems for years. Still, he continued to prepare for the Olympics until as recently as this week.

"I tried to hurry my preparations and training to the very last minute, but it was not to be," he said in his statement.

But earlier this week, he documented his training progress online. "Stretching after the practice, more and more eager to arrive to London!" he wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday.

Nadal also said recently that he was "doing everything possible to recover" after competing at Wimbledon. "The hopes are at a maximum, the work is total and I expect to be at 100 percent," he said last Saturday.

Nadal, ranked number three in the world after Wimbledon, had been selected to carry the Spanish flag at the London Olympic Games.
