Lindsay Lohan Arrested On Driving Charges

Lindsay Lohan has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after her convertible struck a kerb and investigators found what they believe was cocaine at the scene.

Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles in the early hours.
LAPD Lieutenant Mitch McCann said officers at the scene found a "usable amount" of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine.

But he declined to say where the drug was found, other than to say Lohan was not carrying it.

Lohan, who spent time at a rehabilitation centre earlier this year, was driven in another car to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

The two other people in her car were not hurt.

Officers received an emergency call about the accident and arrested Lohan at the hospital for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

McCann declined to comment on Lohan's blood-alcohol level.

He said the case would now go before the District Attorney's Office, where the Herbie Fully Loaded actress could face more charges.

The crash was the Freaky Friday star's third accident in about two years.

In October 2005, Lohan and a passenger received minor injuries when her convertible hit a van in West Hollywood. Authorities said the van driver, who also received minor injuries, was at fault.

Months earlier, Lohan collided with a minivan when she made a U-turn as the van, carrying paparazzi, followed her from a Los Angeles restaurant.

A photographer was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon, but prosecutors declined to charge him.
