Actress Drew Barrymore was involved in a hit-and-run accident Monday --
no, it wasn't Britney Spears -- but instead of remaining at the scene she gave
chase and wrote down the offender's license plate number.
The 33-year-old actress wasn't injured when her car was rear-ended in West
Hollywood, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Kristin Aloma.
Aloma said Barrymore followed the other vehicle and got its license plate
number, which she then handed over to sheriff's deputies.
She said she didn't know the extent of damage to Barrymore's car.
No arrests had been reported Tuesday morning.
"It could be dangerous," Aloma said of following someone after an accident.
Still, she emphasized that getting a license plate number is instrumental to
tracking down a hit-and-run motorist.
Barrymore's screen credits include the "Charlie's Angels" movies, "Fever
Pitch" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."
