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.”

The car bumper was mangled car and the passenger window was smashed, and as the vehicle was towed away debris was still scattered on the road.

An ambulance was called to the scene but Lindsay Lohan did not appear to use it and made her own way to an the hospital.

Her assistant was in the car at the time of the incident, but was also uninjured in the crash.

The star had been seen socializing the night before at the upmarket Chateau Marmont, but it is understood she was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.

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

She has been on probation since a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence, and since then was convicted of shoplifting. She is currently on probation for both offenses.

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.”
