The hood of Carradine's car was ripped off, the engine was left mangled and the windshield was smashed.

Robert was issued a careless driving ticket and required to pay a $169.50 fine, a spokesperson for the Colorado State Patrol told The Cortez Journal.

The couple, meanwhile, starred in an episode of Celebrity Wife Swap this past summer, swapping with American football wide receiver Terrell Owens and his girlfriend.

Carradine is most famous for his role in the 1984 comedy Revenge Of The Nerds co-starring Anthony Edwards, Ted McGinley, Timothy Busfield and Bernie Casey.

The film followed a bunch of nerds who plot to get back at a fraternity for kicking them out of the freshmen dorms.
