Katie Holmes and her daughter were involved in a car crash in New York City on Monday (16Jul12) but they both escaped without injury, according to reports.

The actress, who recently filed for divorce from her husband Tom Cruise, was reportedly picking up the former couple's six-year-old daughter from a gymnastics class in Manhattan when their chauffeur-driven Mercedes collided with a sanitation truck.

Pictures of the damaged car have emerged online and a police source has confirmed to the New York Daily News that Holmes and her daughter were not hurt in the shunt.
