Los Angeles - Actress Drew Barrymore was rear-ended on Monday in a hit-and-run car accident and managed to follow the other vehicle to get its licence plate, authorities said.
The 33-year-old actress was not injured in the accident in West Hollywood, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sergeant Kristin Aloma said. She said she didn't know the extent of damage to Barrymore's car.
Instead of staying put, though, Barrymore followed the offending vehicle and snagged its license plate number, which she then handed over to sheriff's deputies, according to Aloma.
"It could be dangerous," Aloma said of following someone after an accident. Still, she emphasised that getting a license plate number is instrumental to tracking down a hit-and-run motorist.
On Tuesday morning though, there had still been no arrests.
Barrymore's screen credits include the Charlie's Angels movies, Fever Pitch and ET: The Extra-Terrestrial.
