Hilton unhurt in car accident
Paris Hilton was unhurt early Wednesday in a minor car accident as she left a Hollywood nightclub, said her publicist, Jack Ketsoyan.
Hilton was a passenger in a Bentley that a companion drove into the back of a large commercial truck, scratching the hood of the car. The accident was captured on videotape and was shown on television and the Internet.
Officer Michael Lopez of the Los Angeles Police Department said no one was cited. The name of the driver was not immediately available from police. “They decided to leave the scene because the paparazzi was there,” he said.
Hilton was seen on the videotape blowing a kiss to the officers.
