Ellen Degeneres
and Portia De Rossi walked away from a three-vehicle
collision Friday complaining of minor injuries, according to
police.
"[Ellen] had a
little neck and back pain but it doesn't look like it
was anything serious," said Sgt. Ken Buscarino of the Los
Angeles Police Department.
The collision
occurred just before 4 p.m. on Sunset Boulevard, Buscarino
said. Degeneres stopped her 2006 Porsche Carrera at a light,
followed by a 2002 Buick Le Sabre with two men in
their 20s. Some later reports place the two men
as paparazzi.
A 2002 Porsche
Carrera, driven by Jeanne Werber, 52, of Los Angeles,
slammed into the back of the Buick, which in turn rear-ended
DeGeneres's Porsche.
"Degeneres was in
front," Buscarino said. "The third car ran into the
second car, which hit her."
Werber was
arrested for suspicion of drunken driving and had minor cuts
on her leg. Her car had some damage to the front end.
The Buick
sustained major damage to the front and rear, and the two
men inside had scratches.
A later NBC
Access Hollywood report had both Degeneres and De Rossi
complaining of pain to their necks and backs.
DeGeneres's car had moderate damage to the
rear.
No one required
medical attention at the scene, Buscarino said. (AP)
