Lindsay Lohan’s car plows into photog and flees: claim

A member of the paparazzi is suing actress Lindsay Lohan claiming her driver almost killed him in a hit and run in Los Angeles this morning, TMZ reported.

Lohan’s car allegedly struck the photographer and then sped away from the scene.

The 23-year-old actor, who starred in Mean Girls, was not driving the vehicle but was inside the car at the time.

Her driver is now being deemed a person of interest in a criminal assault with a deadly weapon investigation.

TMZ reported that the incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. in front of The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood.

The photographer was injured but was reportedly not taken to hospital.

Now the photographer has told TMZ : “Of course I’m going to sue them … but I don’t care about the money.”

He claims he is “lucky to be alive”, especially since the driver was wearing sunglasses while driving in a dark alley.

“I want to press charges so badly … she’s going to jail,” he said.

While she wasn’t behind the wheel this time, Lindsay is no stranger to boorish road manners. She got her first DUI in 2006, two weeks before her 21st birthday, when she slammed her Mercedes into a tree in Beverly Hills; and again in 2007 just days after leaving a Malibu rehab center.
