LOS ANGELES –– Jennifer Aniston was slightly injured in a car crash Tuesday as she drove through a Hollywood residential area.
The "Friends" co-star, and wife of actor Brad Pitt, was driving her Jaguar northbound near Sunset Boulevard when a vehicle backing out of a driveway broadsided her car, Officer Ed Funes said. Aniston apparently was alone in the car at the time of the 10:30 a.m. accident.
There was only minor damage to the vehicles. Funes said the 32-year-old actress complained of pain, but had no details. An ambulance was called to the crash scene, but Aniston declined treatment.
"It was her prerogative not to go (to the hospital)," the police officer said. "She was seeking her own medical attention."
There was no information about the driver whose vehicle backed into Aniston's car.
Her publicist, Steven Huvane, didn't immediately return phone calls for comment.
On Sunday, Aniston won the People's Choice Award for best television actress and NBC's "Friends" was chosen top comedy series. Aniston was at the Sundance Film Festival last week promoting her new movie, Miguel Arteta's "The Good Girl."
