Actress Drew Barrymore was the victim of a hit-and-run accident in West Hollywood on Monday but was not injured, authorities said today.

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.

Barrymore, 33, a Golden Globe nominee, is best known for her roles in films such as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", "Scream," "Charlie's Angels" and "Never Been Kissed."
