Actress Juliette Lewis has been injured in a hit-and-run crash in California, police said.

Sgt Sean Kelley said Lewis was a passenger in the back seat of a four-door sedan on Wednesday night when a driver ran a stoplight, smashed into Lewis’ vehicle and kept going.

The car was found a short distance away, but the driver had fled the scene in Burbank.

Sgt Kelley said Lewis complained of pain in her head, back and neck and some bruising and was taken to a hospital.

He said the driver will be arrested on suspicion of a hit-and-run when found.

The 37-year-old Lewis received a best supporting actress Oscar nomination for her role in the 1991 film 'Cape Fear'. She appears in the soon-to-be released film 'Conviction'.
