Yahoo! reports that according to police, neither actress Sandra Bullock nor her husband Jesse James were harmed in a head-on collision with a driver who was driving under the influence.

Bullock and her husband James, the star of popular TV program "Monster Garage," were being driven in an SUV on April 18 when the vehicle was struck head-on by a station wagon that had crossed the center line, according to Gloucester, Massachusetts police Lt. Jerry Cook.

Both vehicles involved in the crash were totaled, but no injuries were reported. According to Cook, the vehicles were traveling at speeds of 15 to 20 mph.

The driver of the station wagon, Lucille Gatchell, registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.20, over twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent, according to Cook. She was held overnight and released on a personal recognizance. Her arraignment was scheduled for April 22.

Cook said that 43-year-old was "gracious" and expressed concerns over the well-being of Gatchell.

Bullock, star of such films as "Speed" and "Miss Congeniality" is currently in Massachusetts to film the romantic comedy "The Proposal."
