The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office said yesterday that pop singer Britney Spears was facing charges for a hit and run and driving without a valid drivers' license.

Charges were filed following an accident in which police allege Spears smashed her car into another vehicle in a parking lot back in August of 2007.

Spears could face a maximum of six months in jail and $2,000 in fines if convicted.

Some paparazzi caught a video recording of Spears steering her car into another vehicle on August 6 as Spears tried to pull into a parking spot in a Studio City lot.

Kim Robard-Rifkin was the owner of the other car and she filed a police report three days after the accident. The 59-year-old nurse found out that it was Spears who ran into her car after watching a video on a celebrity website.

Robard-Rifkin said, "I simply want my car fixed, the same as I would fix somebody's car if I had done that."

Spears will be arraigned on October 10.
