LOS ANGELES |
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon was home and recovering from being hit by a car while jogging in the beach community of Santa Monica on Wednesday, her representative said.
"The actress was not seriously injured and is resting comfortably at home," her spokeswoman said in a statement.
No further details were available. Santa Monica is a community immediately adjacent to Los Angeles.
Witherspoon, 35, became a box office sensation and A-list Hollywood star in her "Legally Blonde" comedy movies, and she won an Academy Award for best actress in drama "Walk the Line."

California Motor Vehicle Code 21950
Pedestrians still have to use caution when crossing. A pedestrian may not run in front of an approaching vehicle and put lives in jeopardy simply because they are standing in a crosswalk. The law specifically states, “no pedestrian may suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.” If the approaching car is too close to safely stop, you should not walk in front of them.
