Reese Witherspoon was rushed to a Santa Monica, CA hospital early this morning after being struck by a car while out jogging.  According to the law enforcement officials who responded to the scene, the injuries the Water for Elephants actress sustained were very minor and as of 7:40pm this evening, Reese was resting comfortably at home.

The driver of the car was an 84-year-old woman, who failed to see Witherspoon crossing the street and plowed into her like a bull in a china shop.  The woman was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian and released from police custody.

Released?  Are you kidding me?  This woman is a menace!  You mark my words, she will run down a celebrity again.  Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, on her way to the early bird special at Golden Corral, this little old lady with a need for speed will strike again!
