Former teen idol David Cassidy is facing charges related to an alleged hit-and-run crash in Fort Lauderdale.
Cassidy, 65, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, driving with a suspended license and improper lane change in the Sept. 9 crash on I-595, according to a crash report released Friday.
According to the report, the "Partridge Family" star was driving a silver Kia that struck a truck in the westbound lanes of the highway. A witness said Cassidy pulled over then left the scene, the report said.
The witness told authorities Cassidy tried to cover the license plate on his car before he left, the report said.
Cassidy's car was found in the parking lot of the Cleveland Clinic in Weston with extensive damage to the passenger side, the report said. Cassidy, who was at the hospital for a visit unrelated to the crash, said he gave his driver license and registration information to the truck driver, the report said.
There were no major injuries.
Cassidy, who filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case earlier this year, sold his Fort Lauderdale home for just over $2 million last month. Earlier this year, he was sentenced to a $900 fine and community service for a 2013 drunken-driving charge in upstate New York.

Last year, Cassidy's wife filed for divorce after 23 years of marriage, and he entered alcohol rehabilitation after being charged with driving while intoxicated in Los Angeles in 2014.
Cassidy also had his license suspended for six months after pleading no contest to driving under the influence in Florida in 2011.
Cassidy is scheduled to be arraigned on Oct. 27.
