UPDATED: 3:05 pm CDT May 13, 2008

Drew Barrymore is helping authorities in their investigation of a hit-and-run that she was involved in Monday in Los Angeles.

Barrymore was driving in West Hollywood Monday when she was rear-ended, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Kristin Aloma.

Barrymore, 33, followed the other driver -- who allegedly fled the scene -- but ended up losing the vehicle in traffic. There were no arrests in the case as of Tuesday morning.

Police said that Barrymore got the license plate number from the car. The actress didn't sustain any injuries in the crash.

Barrymore has starred in such films as "E.T. The Extraterrestrial," "The Wedding Singer," "Charlie's Angels" and its sequel, and "Music and Lyrics."

She has a role in the upcoming romantic comedy "He's Just Not That Into You."
