Britney Spears involved in LA car accident
15/4/2008 10:53

Britney Spears' motoring misfortunes continue. After spending most of the day at her Studio City home, she took her white Mercedes SL for a ride Saturday night, and as she was traveling south on the 101 Freeway, the pop star rear ended another car.

According to California Highway Patrol officer Patrick Kimball, the mishap occurred at around 8:20 p.m. on the eastbound Ventura Freeway just east of the 405 freeway.

"Nobody was injured," Kimball was quoted as saying, and no tickets issued either. Spears was in stop-and-go traffic when her car struck a 2006 Nissan in front of her that had stopped. The Nissan then pushed forward into another vehicle. No damage was noted to any of the vehicles.

An after-hours e-mail sent to Spears' publicist was not returned early Sunday.

In 2006, Spears was photographed driving with her son on her lap.

A misdemeanor hit-and-run charge from an August 2007 parking lot crash was dismissed after she paid an undisclosed amount to the car's owner.

In October, she pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid driver's license and later obtained a temporary California license.
