Levitt was filming a scene from his new movie "Premium Rush", in which he plays a New York bike messenger, reported Contactmusic.
The actor described the accident as the worst on-set injury he has sustained to date and he insisted the crash could "have been a lot worse."
The "Dark Knight Rises" star also said that thanks to his quick reflexes he managed to avoid any real damage, saying he "got his elbows up; all the boxing training came in handy. Otherwise who knows what would've happened to my face."
The crash resulted in Levitt requiring 31 stitches on an impressively sized gash down his arm, but thankfully he did not attain any other injuries in the crash.
The film's writer-director David Koepp was filming the stunt on his phone at the time and managed to catch the whole accident on film.
The filmmaker has since decided that he will include the footage at the end credits of "Premium Rush" so that fans can see for themselves just how lucky Levitt was.
