British actress Catherine Zeta-Jones narrowly escaped an abduction attempt in Mexico, the Sun reported. An armed gang tried to force the film star's limousine off the road near San Luis Potosi.

The paper said that Zeta-Jones' bodyguards, travelling in a second vehicle behind the limousine, scuttled the plot by ramming the car carrying the would-be kidnappers.

Zeta-Jones was in the region during shooting on a film.

San Luis Potosi Governor Marcelo de los Santos and local police representatives said that they had no knowledge of any abduction attempt.

Film producer Lloyd Philips was quoted in the Mexican press as saying only that there was a small accident in which another vehicle struck the car in which the actress was riding.
