At this point, when stuff like this happens to Lindsay, I’m never sure whether I should be surprised or not.
I think I might be a little surprised, as weird as that sounds. All has been relatively quiet on Lohan front for the past few months (as in, she hasn’t done anything exceedingly stupid or gotten herself arrested) so maybe I was under the impression that perhaps, maybe, possibly, some sort of normalcy would ensue. She’s gone back to red locks of old, she successfully hosted an episode of SNL, I mean…these are good signs, right?! But alas, last night, outside and Hollywood club, Lindsay found herself in a sea of paparazzi, and while attempting to complete a 3-point turn amidst the sea, grazed the leg of the club’s manager and his car as well. And then, whether she knew she had made contact with human flesh and hard metal (you’d think you’d feel that, right?), sped off into the night.
To Lindsay’s credit, I’ve never had to drive through an ocean of screaming people flashing the light of ten suns into your eyes at seizure inducing intervals. I’m sure it’s not easy. But you know, if you think you hit someone or something, common decency is to stop and check it out. Cause just driving away can spell more trouble, and if your name is Lindsay Lohan, you probably don’t need or want more that. Police were called to the scene, though, and determined that no one was truly injured and decided no follow-up was needed. The only problem this could cause Lindsay is if the manager decides he is hurt — apparently, he began complaining about his grazed knee after he had found out Lindsay was driving the car, and went to the emergency room — and presses charges.
We hope, for Lindsay’s sake (and because, frankly, we’re a little tired of hearing this kind of stuff), she learns a little something from this incident and can keep chugging down the road towards a comeback. (via Jezebel)
Do you think Lindsay will be able to make a successful comeback this year?

My thought is people with camera’s should stay back if they are close enough to get bumped into they are in personal space… Perhaps she needs to hire someone to keep her safe and these stupid people should be arrested for stalking

@SisterMae@xanga - I agree – if there is a crowd around a moving vehicle, it’s definitely not Lindsay’s fault she hit one of them. It sucks, yea, but they shouldn’t be SO close to her if she’s driving! Or anyone! As for hitting the managers car – that sucks, but it really is understandable when you’re in a swarm. If she follows through to the manager about his vehicle then she shouldn’t be in trouble for anything here. This really wasn’t her fault!

From what I read, she called the cops to the scene (although this is just speculation). Paparazzi and stalkerish fans suck. I agree with the first poster, she should hire a body guard to keep people at a distance or someone who can safely drive her out of situations where she is being stalked, she should not have to hire anyone to protect her, but that’s not the world we live in.

This really sucks… I can understand her getting in trouble for crashing, being found with drugs, and all those other things she’s gotten in trouble for. But doing so because she was being blinded by flashes and was surrounded by so many people that she couldn’t properly see what she was doing? Come on, not grazing someone while sober would have been a feat. I really think that this time, it is not Lindsay’s fault. Paparazzi should be forced to stay back at least 10 feet when photographing someone in a vehicle, whether moving or not.
