According to police, detectives are still trying to determine the cause of the crash, but they said there was no immediate evidence of wrongdoing.
They confirmed the actress was behind the wheel but showed no signs of intoxication.
Her spokesman Steve Honig said: “Lindsay was involved in an automobile accident today on her way to the set.
“She was brought to Santa Monica UCLA hospital as a precaution.
“She is fine and was released less than two hours later and is already headed back to the set to resume work.
“Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident.”

Lindsay Lohan has been trying to get her life back on track after a series of medical and legal wrangles in recent years.

Lindsay Lohan recently pulled out of negotiations to star in a biopic about mobster John Gotti, with publicist Steve Honig confirming no agreement could be made.
He said: “I can confirm that Lindsay has not signed on to be a part of the John Gotti movie, nor is she in talks to join the cast.
“It does not look like an agreement can be made. Lindsay’s representatives and film producers were unable to come to an agreement.
“Lindsay has the utmost respect for Barry Levinson [the director of the movie] and the producers and hopes to work with them in the future and wishes them all the best.”
