The actress was knocked down by a car driven by an 84-year-old woman last week, and although she escaped with just a cut to her forehead, a source told Us Weekly the accident was traumatic for both her and her husband Jim Toth.
'The whole incident really frightened her,' the insider said. 'It was very scary … She's very lucky. [Now] she's just resting up, but it's been a very scary experience for her and Jim. The odd thing about all of this is that Reese has always been very afraid of being hit by a car. It's been an ongoing fear of hers. She is always the first person to pull people away from the edge of the curb because she doesn't want them being accidentally hit.'
A source told Us that Witherspoon, 35, will not press charges.
