Lindsay Lohan Sued By Her High-Speed-Chase Quarry
Part-time actress and luxury rehabilitation facility quality-control inspector Lindsay Lohan, you may recall, was recently involved in a high-speed chase through Santa Monica that ended with a DUI arrest, accusations of hostage-taking, and considerable confusion as to the owner of the coke-pants that the troubled starlet was wearing at the time. As if the Denali Three's Today show testimony about that evening's events weren't terrifying enough, a lawsuit filed by a passenger in the car Lohan was pursuing has now added details unmentioned by the trio of still-traumatized captives. From TMZ:
According to the suit, Tracie Rice was in the SUV driven by Michelle Peck, the mother of LiLo's former assistant. Rice says she "was convinced that their lives were in danger and that they had to outrun the pursuing car or they might be killed."
The night of the incident, Rice claims Peck was so terrified at being chased by Lohan that she drove through a barricade and into the parking lot near the Santa Monica Police Station. Rice says she jumped out of the Cadillac Escalade and ran toward police officers and saw a woman, who turned out to be Lohan, run from another SUV toward her. "Police officers approached all of them with guns drawn," the suit said.
It's hard to attach a price to such a traumatizing experience: not only was the plaintiff possibly psychologically scarred by the barricade-crashing, Glock-brandishing conclusion to their chase, but her life-rights probably lost millions in value when the police failed to open fire on the rampaging Lohan, whom they tragically could have mistaken for any drugged-out maniac terrorizing a carload of helpless victims in a police station parking lot.
