Abdul was out of the country Thursday and could not immediately be reached for comment, said her publicist, Stephanie Sher.
A Mercedes-Benz clipped another car on the 101 Freeway in the Encino area on Dec. 20 and nobody was hurt, Mateljan said. The driver apparently failed to look while changing lanes and did not stop to exchange information with the other driver, he said.
The driver and passenger in the struck car took down the Mercedes' license plate number and managed to photograph it with a cellular telephone's camera, Mateljan said. The plate was traced to Abdul, he said.
