Reese Witherspoon was hit by a vehicle on Wednesday afternoon.

The incident occurred during a jog in Santa Monica, Calif., a rep for the actress, 35, confirms to PEOPLE. The driver, an 84-year-old woman, was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, say reports.

Explaining that she was not seriously injured, the rep says Witherspoon is "resting comfortably at home."
