Eva Longoria Parker suffered minor injuries in a car accident on Wednesday evening. The ‘Desperate Housewives’ star was driving in Hollywood, when her car was hit by another vehicle. Luckily, no serious injuries were reported.
The actress, best known for her portrayal of Gabrielle Solis in the hit comedy series, was driving eastbound on Hollywood Boulevard at about 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, when another car made a left turn into a parking lot and banged straight into her car.
No serious injury
She was alone in her car at the time of accident.
Parker did complain of some pain but she escaped any major injuries, according to Los Angeles police Sgt. Kara Silverstein of the department's West Traffic Division. The other driver also escaped unhurt.
After sustaining those minor injuries, Eva was spotted at her restaurant Beso. She looked a bit frail as she stepped out of her West Hollywood eatery and took a ride home. Understandably, the actress tried to avoid driving.
The accident is under investigation. According to gossip website TMZ.com, Eva won’t be “on the hook” for the damage.
Set to host MTV show
The actress is currently busy preparing to host next month’s Europe Music Awards for MTV. She will be in Madrid on Nov. 7 for the annual ceremony, one of the music world's biggest nights outside of the United States.
I'm excited about it and I love to be challenged in new ways. -- Eva Longoria Parker
However, the actress has no intention of taking up music. “No, I'll definitely leave the music to the professionals,” she said, when asked whether she was considering a career in the field, according to Reuters.
Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Katy Perry and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen are among the famous celebs, who have hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards in the past.
“I have some tough competition,” Longoria said, adding, “I'm excited about it and I love to be challenged in new ways.
“I love Shakira, Kings of Leon and Katy Perry and Linkin Park - the performers they have lined up are amazing.”
Wife of basketball player Tony Parker, Eva said her love of music, Spanish roots and past experience at hosting shows, makes her fit for the job.
