Practical Magic actress Sandra Bullock and her husband, Jesse James, were involved in a car accident in Gloucester on Friday night.
Bullock, who was in town to film new movie The Proposal, and her Monster Garage hubby, were riding in a privately driven vehicle at around 9:50 p.m. when a drunk driver jumped lanes on East Main Street and “smashed into their front end.” Fortunately, no one was injured.
Gloucester Police Lt. Gerry Cook said: “They were shaken up, needless to say… But they were fine - he was hugging her. Jess and Sandra were hugging. They said they were fine, they didn’t need medical attention. There were quite a few people snapping pictures of them.”
The famous couple walked away from the accident site by themselves, without being examined by a paramedic.
Lucille P. Gatchell, the 64-year-old driver in the Subaru who hit Bullock and James’ car, was tested on site by police and blew a .20 on the breathalyzer… two and a half times over the legal limit!!
She was arrested and taken straight to the station, where Gatchell was then booked for DUI and “failure to stay in marked lanes.” Gatchell was released after being charged and will be arraigned on her charges on Tuesday.
When the 64-year-old found out who it was she’d hit, Cook said she started laughing hysterically.
“She started laughing, she was really giddy,” he said.
A pretty cool claim-to-fame for a 6-odd year-old I guess… she’s the only one in the world at this point that can say she hit Sandra Bullock with her vehicle and walked away with an itty bitty conviction.
