hollywood 's celebrity scandals

Just a month earlier: Sunset Blvd & Foothill Drive, in Beverly Hills: around 5:30 AM, on Saturday, June 26, 2006, Lindsay Lohan was driving westbound on Sunset Blvd, apparently drunk and speeding, when she lost control of her vehicle (a 2005 Mercedes SL-65). The car struck the curb and some shrubbery north of Sunset, at Foothill Road, damaging the car. (That's a residential neighborhood of palatial homes, about four blocks east of Rodeo Drive and the Beverly Hills Hotel.) Someone phoned in the crash. But when police arrived, Lindsay wasn't there. The cops later found her at Century City Hospital, where she was being treated for minor injuries, where they arrested her for driving under the influence. She was cited and released (it's a misdemeanor charge). She was only 20 years old at the time, a year younger than the legal California drinking age of 21. Police also found what they believed to be cocaine in her car, which could result in additional charges being filed in the future











Third Street & Sweetzer Avenue, in West L.A.: Previously, on May 31, 2005, Lindsay Lohan had been involved in another traffic incident. Her was allegedly rammed by a crazed paparazzi. Lindsay had realized that she was being followed by a van. She called the cops on her cell phone, and when she spotted a police car on Third Street, she started to make a U-turn to hail them, but according to reports, the van then deliberately rammed her brand new Mercedes-Benz. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The driver, photographer Galo Ramirez, was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon. The case is still pending. (The intersection is located just east of the Beverly Center mall, and just west of Farmers Market and The Grove
