"She was cited, and her insurance will cover the repairs. The whole front end (of the Charger) was pretty badly beat up -- the fenders, the bumper, the hood, everything."Neither Kitching nor his passenger, Officer Don Helwig, nor the two passengers in Hurley's Ford were injured, Troy said.But the accident was an inauspicious introduction for the Charger cop car in Alsip.The village is the first in the Southland to have the high-powered Hemi V8 version, which races to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds (two seconds faster than the commonly used Ford Crown Victoria) and is capable of hitting 146 mph.Alsip went for Hemi-equipped police cars instead of those with standard V6 engines because the resale value will be better, Troy said, adding, "it's a positive thing for the village for people to see these squads."Kitching's test drive was taken in the first of five of the $22,092 cars delivered to the village.It was on the village lot for less than five minutes when he took it out. Though painted black-and-white, the car had yet to be fitted with police lights, markings or even a license plate when the accident happened."The mayor's pretty embarrassed, but he didn't do anything wrong," Troy said. "It was just one of those things."Sorry, i hate linking to sites, when it can just be quoted...

The singer was pulling into the Studio City vitamin store on Monday when the incident happened. After Spears hit the car she screamed, “I’m a brianiac!” She then got out of her car to inspect the damage and squatted, showing off, yet again, her stuff. Spears got up and walked past the damaged car and left without telling the owner or leaving a note. Her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were not in the car. Trouble seems to fallow Spears around. The ‘Toxic’ singer recently divorced Kevin Federline. Federline reportedly plans to take Spears back to court to get full custody of their sons, because he claims Spears isn’t a suitable mother.
