Britney Spears in car accident

Britney Spears was in a minor car accident Saturday night while driving her Mercedes on the Los Angeles freeway. She was fortunately not injured.

According to the accident report, "The collision occurred when the driver of the Mercedes, driving in the #3 lane, in stop and go traffic failed to observe the vehicle directly ahead of her come to a complete stop. She attempted to brake but failed to stop her vehicle prior to colliding into the rear of the Nissan [in front of her]."

The singer has been laying low as of late. She spent most of the day prior to the accident at her Studio City home, then later that night her bodyguards drove her to Dominick's in West Hollywood to have dinner with her mother.
