Britney Spears turns herself in over car park shunt

Troubled pop star Britney Spears has reported to a Los Angeles police station to be booked on charges of hit and run and driving without a valid licence.

Officer Mike Lopez said Spears turned herself in at about 9pm yesterday, local time, and left shortly afterwards.

The charges stem from an August 6 crash during which paparazzi filmed Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City car park.

The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.
