Olympic gold medallist Michael Phelps was not injured when the SUV he was driving collided with another car in Baltimore, but the other driver was taken to a hospital.



Police say they had no updates on the woman driving the other car. She was described as \"shaken up\" and taken to the hospital last night as a precaution.



Police interviewed Phelps and alcohol was not a factor says spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.



Two passengers in Phelps\' Cadillac Escalade were not injured.



Phelps won eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. Most recently, he earned five gold and a silver over eight days this month at the world swimming championships.
