Reese Witherspoon hit by car while jogging
(CBS/AP) Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon was struck by a car while jogging near Los Angeles on Wednesday morning and suffered minor injuries.
Santa Monica police Sgt. Richard Lewis says the "Walk the Line" actress was hit by a car driven by an 84-year-old woman.
Witherspoon was jogging in an unmarked crosswalk in Santa Monica when the driver struck her at about 20 mph. The 35-year-old actress was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Lewis says the driver was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Witherspoon was released from the hospital Wednesday afternoon and spent the evening at home, according to MTV News.
Witherspoon's portrayal of June Carter in the 2005 film "Walk the Line" won her a best-actress Oscar. She recently appeared opposite Robert Pattinson in "Water for Elephants."
