Sandra Bullock Involved In Car Accident

April 19th, 2008

Sandra Bullock was involved in a car accident on Friday night (April 18), after the vehicle she was travelling in was struck by a drunk driver in Gloucester, Massachusetts - however, no injuries were sustained in the accident.

Local media have reported that Bullock, who has been filming a new movie in the area, and her husband Jesse James were being driven to their hotel in Eastern Point, when a car jumped lanes and smashed into the front of the vehicle.

Lucille Gatchell, the 64-year-old driver of the offending Subaru station wagon, was arrested following a field sobriety test, where she registered two-and-a-half times the legal limit.

The Boston Herald attempted to contact Gatchell, who issued a "no comment" about the incident, with no statement being released by the couple.

Lt Gerry Cook of the Gloucester Police Department told the paper that, "It’s unfortunate, but it shows you that no one is immune from drunk drivers, no matter how famous you are.
