Oscar winning actress Reese Witherspoon was hit by a car while jogging yesterday morning. She was in Santa Monica, near Los Angeles, when an 84-year-old lady hit her with her vehicle while traveling at around 20 miles per hour. She was immediately taken to a nearby hospital to receive treatment.
“The initial investigation revealed that the driver of the vehicle, an 84-year-old female resident of Santa Monica, was traveling southbound and struck a female pedestrian jogging westbound within an unmarked crosswalk,” said Police Sergeant Richard Lewis.
The driver of the car was given a citation for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
According to E! News, the actress was not seriously hurt in the accident and is now “resting comfortably at home,” said her spokesperson, Nanci Ryder.
Earlier this year, Reese had another problem: she had to wear a soft cast on her left foot after badly twisting her ankle. Thankfully that injury happened after her March wedding to Hollywood agent Jim Toth, during which she wore a pair of skyscraper heels, although she was quick to swap them for cowboy boots at her reception as they were more comfortable for her to dance in.
