A witness told TMZ the crash wedged "Snooki's" car between the patrol car and a highway wall.  Her "Shore" co-star Jenni "J-Woww" Farley, was in the passenger seat, and had to climb out through a window.

Alcohol was reportedly not a factor, keeping with the decree of Mayor Matteo Renzi, who declared that the boozy, bronzed guidos and guidettes not be filmed drinking in public, or in bars and clubs that serve alcohol.

No one was hurt in the accident, but it is the second near disaster for the bronzed reality stars since the arrived in Italy.  “Shore” star Deena Cortese, the self-titled “blast in a glass” nearly fell into the River Arno in Florence, Italy, in front of a pack of photographers and onlookers.

SNOOKI'S 32,000 DOLLAR SPEACH GETS NJ STATE SENATOR ANGRY!!

NEW JERSEY (PIX11) -- A New Jersey state senator is not fist pumping after Rutgers University paid “Jersey Shore” reality star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi $32,000 to impart her wisdom during a speaking engagement.

Sen. Joe Kyrillos wants to sponsor a bill that would allow students to opt out of any event that the student body funds with mandatory fees.

"We have more than 200 events on our campus during the course of the year, everything from scholarly presentations to entertainment," Rutgers spokesman Steve Manas said. "The students canvassed for who they wanted here and had the funds available."

But Kyrillos says he believes a portion of the student body objected to the use of funds, and they shouldn’t be forced to pay.

Some Rutgers students agree with the senator. "The fact that our school spent more money on her than Toni Morrison is a little ludicrous," said student Hina Rehman, 20. "Snooki has no accomplishments or achievements that are worthy of that money."

More than 1,000 students attended the event.
