Ollie oops!

Film producer and Hollywood scion Eric Eisner was in a bad skateboarding accident in California last month, breaking his elbow and fracturing his hip.

His wife, Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet, tells us Eisner was skateboarding in Ingelwood with friends, when one of his pals showed him how to do a move.

Unfortunately, Eisner, the son of former Walt Disney CEO Michael, did not pull it off — though he did somehow get himself to the hospital.

“The craziest part is he got up and drove himself to the emergency room and when he got there, they were like, ‘How did you even make it here?'” Bendet told us.

He was in a wheelchair to keep weight off his hip, but we hear he is starting to walk again.

His elbow needed nine screws.

Einser and his father will be missing the opening match of their UK soccer team, Portsmouth Football Club, due to his injuries.

The producer’s credits include the Grateful Dead documentary series, “Long Strange Trip.”

Meanwhile, the day before his accident, one of the couple’s daughters fell off her horse and broke her collarbone in New York — and their surgeries were a day apart on different coasts.

“I’m an orthopedic doctor in residence,” Bendet figured. “I have spent the last two weeks with orthopedics on two coasts.”  

She added, “I usually joke about everything — but I feel so bad for them. We are so lucky. At the end of the day, it’s like, guys, this is terrible, but you are both going to be OK.”
