The Parker star, her twins Max and Emme, six, and friend Leah Remini were travelling down the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, when they were rear-ended by Reitz, who allegedly smashed into the back of their vehicle and quickly fled the scene.
The pair – who were thought to have been taking the American Idol judge’s new Rolls Royce for a spin – were left shaken by the incident and quickly called police to share details of the hit and run. The authorities soon caught up with the pick-up truck driver a short distance from the crash and arrested him on suspicion of DUI and hit and run.
The 45-year-old singer took to Instagram yesterday to vent her frustration following the smash. Along with a photo of her and Leah sitting in the new vehicle, she wrote: ”Sitting at a light, Riding high right before some drunk fool rear ended us in my new whip!!! Thank god everyone ok!!! #GRATEFUL #THANKYOUGOD. #DontdrinkandDrive!!!! #cursedthatfoolout #theBronxcameout #dontmesswithmycocnuts #mamabear #leahstayedcalm #thatwasweird
