Britney in a Bitty Fender Bender

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

No harm, but a bit of a foul just the same.

Britney Spears was involved in a minor chain-reaction collision Saturday on Los Angeles' 101 Freeway, authorities confirm to E! News.

According to the California Highway Patrol's accident report, at 8:18 p.m., the popster was behind the wheel of her Mercedes-Benz heading east in stop-and-go traffic a few miles beyond the 101-405 interchange when she bumped into the car in front of her.

"She failed to notice that the vehicle in front of her had come to a complete stop," CHP Officer Patrick Kimball said. "She attempted to break but failed to stop her vehicle prior to colliding with a 2006 Nissan."

As a result, the car Spears hit was pushed into another vehicle, the driver of which "did not observe any damages," Kimball said.

No drivers were cited and "nobody was injured," he added.

While the celeb-gossip blogosphere is already afire with rumors that Spears was asked to take a sobriety test, Kimball said that, to his knowledge, no such test was performed and Spears was not asked to report to any law-enforcement station for further information-gathering.

"No information of that type is in the report," Kimball said.

A source tells E! News, however, that Spears' bodyguard, who was in the passenger seat when the accident occurred, afterward drove his trouble-prone charge to a nearby fire station, where she met briefly with officers.

Following the accident, Britney had dinner at Italian hotspot Dominick's in West Hollywood with mom Lynne Spears and Lynne's friend Jackie, and then was back at her Mulholland Drive-adjacent home within the Summit gated community by 11 p.m., the source said.

While Spears has been spotted in recent weeks motoring her own vehicle within the confines of the Summit, the pop princess hasn't been doing too much of her own driving since a court commissioner placed dad Jamie Spears in charge of her general welfare.
