Actress Reese Witherspoon was hit by a car while out jogging yesterday in Santa Monica, California. Witherspoon was treated for minor injuries at a Santa Monica hospital after the accident.
The driver of the car was an 84-year-old woman, who failed to see Witherspoon crossing the street and plowed into her like a bull in a china shop. The woman was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian and released from police custody.
The woman was reportedly driving around 20 MPH when she hit the Legally Blonde actress.
Reese has been released from the hospital and is resting at home according to the report.
Luckily Reese is doing alright, but the national interest of the accident should serve as a wake up call to motorists and runners, as well, to be more careful out on the roads.
