LOS ANGELES - A black Mercedes-Benz driven by actress Lindsay Lohan collided with a van on a West Hollywood street on Tuesday afternoon, according to television news reports and a witness who said he saw the crash. It wasn't immediately known if anybody was hurt.

A reporter for the syndicated television show "The Insider" said she was filming a segment for her show in the city adjacent to Beverly Hills when she witnessed the accident at about 4:15 p.m. The Insider reporter, Victoria Recano, told The Associated Press she saw Lohan and a passenger from her car run into an antique store immediately after the accident.

Javier Ramirez, who works at Hideaway House antiques, said he recognized Lohan.

"She was very upset," Ramirez told The Associated Press. "She kept saying, 'Oh my God, oh my God, I can't believe it.'"

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was investigating the crash, but could not immediately confirm that the actress was involved, said Deputy Oscar Butao. Lohan's publicist did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

Ramirez said Lohan and her passenger left after a few minutes and although both were shaken up, neither appeared badly hurt.

Television news footage showed a badly damaged black Mercedes outside the store with both its driver- and passenger-side air bags inflated.

The crash was the second one Lohan has been involved in recent months.

Police said the star of such films as "Mean Girls" and "Herbie: Fully Loaded" was attempting to evade a paparazzi photographer in June when the photographer crashed his car into her Mercedes. She suffered cuts and bruises in that crash but did not seek medical attention.

The photographer was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon. Police said it appeared he deliberately crashed into the actress' vehicle.

I'm sure the mods won't mind, they usually make rare exceptions in newsworthy events like these (please Admin Mod?)

LINDSAY Lohan was a big pain at Wyclef Jean's Yeli Foundation benefit for Haitian children in Chicago on Saturday. The dizzy diva-tante demanded a private plane from New York but canceled the trip, costing the foundation a penalty fee.

Then, she changed her mind and agreed to fly commercial. But she missed that flight, requiring a new charter. Lohan arrived for that jet an hour late, so the company bumped its rate from $4,000 per hour to $6,000.

When she finally arrived at the venue, a tented stage at a suburban mansion, she refused to talk to the press or mingle with other celebs such as Drew Barrymore.

"Lindsay sat in a corner playing with her BlackBerry and made frequent trips to the ladies' room," said one atendee. For the song "Guantanamera," Wyclef summoned P.M. club owner Unik onstage to play drums.

As the music crescendoed, Wyclef shed his shirt revealing a newly gym-toned physique. Jeremy ("Entourage") Piven then took off his own shirt, exposing what was described as "a flabby upper body."

Lohan shrieked, "Oooo, I can't stand to look at that!" She ran out of the tent and the party. One guest told PAGE SIX, "Lindsay was a total pain from the get-go. She needs help."
