LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Reese Witherspoon has decided not to press charges against the woman who hit her with a car this week, a source close to the U.S. actress told UsMagazine.com.

The "Walk the Line" Oscar winner was treated for minor injuries after the incident, which happened Wednesday when an 84-year-old woman struck Witherspoon with her car while the actress was jogging in Santa Monica, Calif.

"The incident is being treated as an accident," the insider -- whose name was not reported -- told UsMagazine.com. "The driver was not given an alcohol test at the accident scene and typically she would receive a fine and a point on her driving license as it is considered a moving violation."
