NEW YORK, July 17 (Reuters) - Actress Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise were involved in a minor car accident with a sanitation truck in New York City yesterday but were not hurt, a police source said.

Holmes, who earlier this month reached a divorce settlement with actor Tom Cruise, was in a Mercedes with their daughter when a New York City Sanitation truck hit the car, the source said.

A New York Police Department spokesman said an accident involving a Mercedes and a truck occurred around 9:30 p.m. EDT on Monday but said he could not name the passengers. A separate source speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed Holmes and her daughter were in the car.

There were no injuries and no criminal charges were expected, police said.
