ABC News' David Muir and Raelyn Johnson Report: Cate Edwards, 25, the eldest daughter of presidential candidate former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., was involved in a car accident in Chapel Hill, North Carolina Friday night.
Edwards told ABC News Monday his daughter is "doing fine."
"I talked to Cate late last night. She was hit from behind, I think, by a drunk driver, and any other details they'll have to tell you, Edwards said, "I don't know much more beyond than that, but she's doing fine."
Earlier Monday, Edwards Campaign spokesperson Eric Schultz told reporters, "It was a minor car accident, and Cate was unharmed."
As first reported by ABC affiliate WTVD in Raleigh Durham, North Carolina, the car Cate was driving was struck by an alleged drunk driver as she approached a red light.
The ABC affiliate reported Chapel Hill Police charged 45-year-old Carol Small with driving while intoxicated, and reported Edwards' car, a 2007 Ford Sedan, suffered an estimated $2000 worth of damage.
The Edwards family is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Following last Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, Cate Edwards flew home to North Carolina Wednesday morning.
Cate Edwards is a Harvard Law student, but has most recently been actively campaigning for her father in Iowa and New Hampshire. She has focused on urging students and young people to vote for her dad.

Angie,
Whether you are the responsible party in an auto collision or not is irrellevant. All parties are "involved" in the incident regardless. Before you make such ridiculous statements you should consult a dictionary.

Hey ABCnews! FYI - What happens to Cate Edwards is more important than what happens to Britney Spears.

Edwards is going to be President for the next eight years, and that is why this is definitely news. Thank God Cate is OK.
