Lindsay Lohan in trouble

Lindsay Lohan is at the centre of a hit and run case in Los Angeles after a paparazzi member filed a lawsuit against the actress claiming her driver almost killed him.

According to TMZ, the Mean Girls star’s car allegedly struck the photographer and then sped away from the scene.

The 23-year-old actor was not driving the vehicle but was inside the car at the time. And now, her driver is being targeted in a criminal assault with a deadly weapon investigation.

The incident reportedly occurred around 12:30 a.m PT in front of The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, CA.

The photographer was injured but was not taken to hospital, revealed the report.

"Of course I'm going to sue them...but I don't care about the money,” News.com.au quoted the photographer as telling TMZ.

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.
