If Sandra Bullock’s husband Jesse James were a cat, by my calculations he would only have about five lives left. The “Monster Garage” star has not only survived numerous motorcycle accidents and an attempt last year by some whacked out fan to plow him over with her Mercedes, but now word has it that James has also escaped serious injuries in a drunk driving accident.
According to Boston newspapers, Bullock and her husband were hit by an alleged out of control drunk driver last night while being chauffeured to the Massachusetts home they are renting while the actress finishes production on her current film “The Proposal.”
Police told news reporters that the couple was being driven home for the evening around 9:50 p.m. Friday when a Subaru station wagon crossed into oncoming traffic and smashed into Bullock and James’ vehicle.
According to reports, no one was injured in the incident, but officers on the scene say the famous pair was “shaken up.” Numerous eyewitnesses snapped shots of Bullock and James hugging after police arrived and officers told the Boston Herald that the couple “didn’t need any medical attention at all.”
Meanwhile, the 64-year-old female driver of the Subaru reportedly failed a field sobriety test and blew a .20 on the breathalyzer – two and a half times the legal limit.
Police say the woman was arrested and booked for driving under the influence of alcohol and failure to stay in marked lanes. And get this… according to police, the woman didn’t know who she hit until the arresting officer told her, and once she found out it was Bullock and James she reportedly started laughing hysterically.
The woman is out on bail right now, but I have a feeling that she won’t be laughing so hard if a judge convicts her of driving drunk and she’s sentenced to do time behind bars.
We’ll see who’ll be smiling then.
