LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Renee Zellweger was involved in a minor car accident in Beverly Hills on Monday.

The actress was hit by another car performing an illegal driving maneuver, TMZ first reported.

“A green Ford Explorer made an illegal U-turn in front of her silver Mercedes,” Lieutenant Tony Lee told People. “Ms. Zellweger was not injured, the damage to her car was very minor. She was very polite and sincere.”

According to the officer, the two parties exchanged information and their insurance companies will handle the incident.

Following the crash, the actress asked the officers for a little help.

“Ms. Zellweger requested her car be towed from the scene, and also requested that officers call her a cab,” the officer told the mag.

A rep for Zellweger was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood.
