US actress Sandra Bullock and her husband were unhurt after a head-on crash
with a drunken driver, police said Saturday.
The actress and her husband, Jesse James of TV's "Monster Garage," were being
driven in a sport-utility vehicle Friday night when a station wagon crossed the
center line and hit them, said Gloucester police Lt. Jerry Cook.
Both vehicles were totaled, but no one was hurt. The vehicles were traveling
15 to 20 mph, Cook said.
The other car was driven by Lucille Gatchell, who registered a blood-alcohol
level of 0.20 percent, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent, Cook
said.
She was held by Gloucester police overnight and released Saturday on personal
recognizance. She is to be arraigned tomorrow in Gloucester District Court.
Gatchell did not immediately return a call seeking comment Saturday. Calls to
representatives for Bullock were not immediately returned.
Bullock, 43, was "gracious" and concerned about whether Gatchell was OK, Cook
said.
The actress, who starred in such films as "Speed" and "Miss Congeniality," is
in Massachusetts filming the romantic comedy "The Proposal."
