Vivica A. Fox was released from jail early Wednesday after she was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, authorities said. The 42-year-old actress was pulled over late Tuesday after her vehicle passed a patrol car on the Hollywood Freeway at 80 mph, California Highway Patrol Officer Leland Tang said.

Fox was arrested after failing a field sobriety test, he said. Breathalyzer tests also indicated her blood-alcohol level was greater than .08 percent, the legal limit, Tang said.

A woman who answered the phone at the office of Fox's manager said, "We have no comment on that."

Fox has appeared in "Kill Bill: Vol. 1 ," "Soul Food" and "Independence Day." She also was a contestant on last year's "Dancing With The Stars."
