Britney Spears crashed her car on Saturday night (04.12.08) while allegedly
putting make-up on.

The ‘Toxic’ star is claimed to have been preening herself while behind the
wheel of her white Mercedes when she ran into the back of a Nissan car at
8.18pm on a Los Angeles freeway.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) accident report: “The
collision occurred when the driver of the Mercedes, driving in the number
three 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.”

CHP Officer Patrick Kimball added: “Britney's car collided into the rear of
a Nissan, which in turn hit another car.”

The 21-year-old driver of the Nissan car told gossip website TMZ.com he had
seen the 26-year-old singer putting on her make-up minutes before the crash,
but was unsure whether she was still doing so at the time of the crash.

At the scene of the crash, officers gave mother-of-two Britney a field
sobriety test which returned a negative result.

Later that evening, Britney and her mother Lynne were driven by Britney’s
bodyguards to West Hollywood restaurant Dominick’s for dinner.

While no injuries were reported, the Nissan driver has confirmed he is
considering seeing a chiropractor about a back injury he claimed was caused
by the accident.

There were no tickets issued at the scene of the crash.

At least she had new gorgeous hair.
