Actress Reese Witherspoon was treated in hospital in the US on Wednesday for minor injuries after she was involved in a traffic accident.

Santa Monica police officer Richard Lewis says the Oscar-winning actress was hit by a car driven by an 84-year-old woman.

Witherspoon was jogging in an unmarked crosswalk in Santa Monica when the driver struck her at about 32km/h. The 35-year-old actress was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Witherspoon's representative told People.com that the actress was not seriously hurt and following her release from hospital, she was "resting comfortably at home".

Witherspoon is the mother of two children, Ava, 12, and Deacon, 8, from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe.

The couple were divorced in 2007 and she married Hollywood agent Jim Toth this year.
