NEW YORK (CBS) Mad Men beauty January Jones was involved in a car crash Thursday night in Los Angeles after spending an evening watching basketball with friends at The London West Hollywood Hotel, reports TMZ.

After the rendezvous, Jones was reportedly on her way home when her Range Rover struck three parked vehicles, but instead of sticking around to assess the damage Jones continued home on foot, says TMZ.

However, this is not your standard hit and run.

Before leaving, Jones left her license with a witness, called 911 when she arrived home, and returned to the scene of the crime wearing a different set of clothes and chewing gum, a witness told the gossip site.

Jones told the cops that there were paparazzi following her and that's what caused the collision.

It was later learned that Food Network star Bobby Flay was added to the mix. Flay says that he and Jones were in the same group of friends that were watching the basketball game and exchanged numbers because the blond beauty wanted a chef's expert opinion in the remodeling of her kitchen, says TMZ.

He claims he doesn't know why Jones called him after the crash, but he drove over anyway to make sure she was okay.
