The 26-year-old singer was questioned by officers at her home for the misdemeanor hit-and-run incident, the [Los Angeles Times](http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/08/leann-rimes.html) reports.  
  
Rimes was not arrested and the investigation is continuing.  
  
"There was a routine police investigation into this incident, and a police report was filed," says Rimes's spokesperson, [People](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20299736,00.html) reports. "We are confident that this matter will be resolved shortly and LeAnn will be cleared."
