“Water For Elephants” star REESE WITHERSPOON was injured after she was struck by a car while jogging along her neighborhood in Santa Monica this morning. Luckily, the car was driven by an 84-year-old woman who wasn’t going very fast along the residential roads.

The latest Hollywood gossip reports the Oscar winning actress was jogging along Georgina Avenue at 20th Street around 11 a.m. when she was struck down by a vehicle traveling south. Witherspoon was immediately rushed to the hospital where it was found she suffered minor injuries, but nothing life threatening.

“The actress was not seriously injured and is resting comfortably at home,”

a rep for 35-year-old Witherspoon announced.

The octogenarian driver was subsequently cited with failing to yield to a pedestrian at a crosswalk but was later released without being charged.

Good thing Reese has just wrapped up filming for her newest flick, “This Means War,” but let’s hope rumors she’s pregnant aren’t true, because that will put a right damper on her and second husband’s Jim Toth’s plans to add to the family.
