Drew Barrymore was involved in a hit-and-run accident on Monday in Los Angeles, but was unhurt. She also chased down the runaway driver and got his digits – license plate digits –for police.
The collision occurred shortly before noon as Barrymore was driving near Gardner Street and Santa Monica Boulevard, said Sgt. Kristin Aloma of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station.
Barrymore followed the hit-and-run vehicle after her car was rear-ended and got its license plate number, Aloma said.
Police are trying to track down the driver, Aloma said.
While I’m sure that Drew didn’t chase the driver on foot, she was rear ended so the car was probably okay to drive, they don’t have engines in the back. I think engines are in the front – I’m not a car person. But I love the imagery of her sprinting off down the road, Charlie’s Angels style, leaping onto the car in question, ripping off his license plate and delivering it to police like the Holy Grail. Sometimes I have a problem separating actresses from their parts.
Hopefully the car wasn’t stolen, so that the driver will be easily identified by the plate number. While the accident may have been minor, hit and runs should be prosecuted to ensure that people don’t think they can get away with it.
Picture note by Celebitchy: Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are shown leaving Mr. Chow on 5/4/08. He does not look like he should be driving. Thanks to WENN for these photos.

Not to mention the people usually run for a reason, so hopefully they catch them to prosecute them for whatever they were running for.
