Sandra Bullock and her husband Jesse James escaped injuries after being hit by a drunk driver while riding in a private car in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Police said that the actress and her husband were being driven home at around 9:50 pm when a gray Subaru station wagon jumped lanes and smashed into the front end of their car.

Both vehicles were totaled, but no one was hurt, the police added.

"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," People quoted Gloucester Police Lt. Gerry Cook, as saying.

The driver of the Subaru, identified as Lucille Gatchell, 64, was administered a field sobriety test and showed two and a half times the legal limit of alcohol in her blood, the report said.
