Designer and former reality TV star Kristin Cavallari reportedly was hospitalized Thursday following an auto accident.

TMZ.com said Cavallari, 29, was in a vehicle that was struck by another in the Chicago area that afternoon, and taken to a hospital outside the city.

The site said her husband, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, arrived there shortly afterward, and that their three children were not with her.

“She is doing fine and will be discharged from the hospital shortly,” her spokesman said Thursday.

In December, Cavallari learned that her older brother, Michael, was found dead after having gone missing in Utah on Nov. 27.
