The pop princess reportedly "tapped" the car in front of her.

BRITNEY SPEARS got into a minor car accident on Tuesday afternoon, according to People magazine.

The pop star, driving her white Mercedes-Benz SL65, "tapped the other car in front of her," (a red Ford Explorer), according to a witness who spoke to People.

"I think she was just distracted," the witness also noted.

According to People, her bodyguard handed what looked like a business card to the driver of the Explorer, who then followed Britney back to her gated community in Studio City, CA, to exchange information. The mag also reports that police were not called to the scene.
