Britney Spears' car is impounded

Britney Spears' car has been impounded after she abandoned it on the roadway.

The singer was driving to a pharmacy in her white Mercedes before bursting one of her tyres and driving for a few miles while it was flat.

Spears, who was accompanied by her assistant, eventually abandoned the car and travelled back with a photographer to the Four Seasons Hotel.

An LA Police Department spokesperson said: "Britney Spears' car was impounded because it was blocking the roadway."

Spears will have to pay a £52 towing fee and £16 for every day she leaves it in the towing yard. If it is left for 30 days, the car will be put up for auction.
