LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger was involved, but not injured, in a minor auto collision in Beverly Hills, Calif., Monday, police said.

Zellweger, 40, is best known for her roles in "Jerry Maguire," "Chicago," "Cold Mountain" and "Bridget Jones's Diary."

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

Lee said the motorists exchanged information and "the incident will be handled between their insurance companies."

"Ms. Zellweger requested her car be towed from the scene, and also requested that officers call her a cab," Lee said.

TMZ said no one was cited in the incident, which took place at about 11 a.m. PDT.
