This past weekend, actresses Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini, who go a long time being close friends, had a close call as the car they were in was hit in the rear by another car, giving both New York-born actresses (Remini is from Brooklyn, Lopez from the Bronx) a big scare.

Last Saturday, Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini were driving around Malibu along with Lopez's children with singer Marc Anthony, Emme Maribel and Maximillian David. They were waiting for a red light to turn green when a driver on their back hit the car Remini was driving. Police told TMZ that the crash happened at the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California and that nobody had been hurt: it was just a big scare.

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini were quick to report the event in social media, as Lopez was quick to post the event on her Instagram account, saying "Sitting at a light, riding high right before some drunk fool rear ended us in my new whip." The famous 'Jenny from the Block' singer also used colorful hashtags to narrate the event, such as #cursedthatfoolout and #theBronxcameout.

In any case, while Jennifer Lopez, Leah Remini and Lopez's children are all right, the driver of the small truck that rear-ended Lopez's new SUV ran the scene. The man was later arrested on charges of DUI and hit and run.

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini have been best friends for years, and these days they still often hang out - only now the New Yorkers are not alone for drinks, but they also include their children. Recently, E! News reported that the two New Yorkers had taken their daughters to the latest Demi Lovato concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, even posting an adorable photo of Lopez's girl Emme, Remini's girl Sofia and the singer Demi Lovato, where the children looked like they were having the best day of their lives.
