Jennifer Lopez was 'super scared' for her kids when the car they were travelling in was hit by a drunk driver.

Lopez was test driving a new car in California with friend Leah Remini and their three children when the incident happened.

Lopez's twins Max and Emme and Leah's daughter Sofia were sitting in the back seat of the vehicle when it was rear-ended by a drunk driver.

She told Extra: "Everybody's fine... just a little shook up. You know you get hit from behind like that, it felt l like a boulder fell on top of the car.

"I was super scared that something that happened to the kids... They say in situations like that you fight, flight, freeze. I didn't freeze, I fought, and I didn't leave, I fought... I was like, 'They were kids in the car! There were three kids in the car, what's wrong with you?'"

Jennifer first shared news of the crash on her Instagram account on Sunday (28.09.14).

She posted on the picture sharing site, along with a photo of herself and Leah, 44: "Sitting at a light, Riding high right before some drunk fool rear ended us in my new whip!!! Thank god everyone ok!!! #GRATEFUL #THANKYOUGOD.

"#DontdrinkandDrive!!!! #cursedthatfoolout #theBronxcameout #dontmesswithmycocnuts #mamabear #leahstayedcalm #thatwasweird (sic)".

After the pair called the police the authorities soon caught up with the drunk driver who was arrested on suspicion of DUI and hit and run a short distance from the crash.
