Lindsay Lohan sued over pre-dawn car chase

A Los Angeles woman who was driving a car that Lindsay Lohan is accused of chasing through city streets in July sued the troubled actress on Tuesday, claiming her behavior could have caused injury or death, informs Reuters.

Tracie Rice is seeking unspecified damages for assault and infliction of emotional distress by the 21-year-old actress, who was arrested and accused of criminal drunken driving and drug possession after the predawn chase.

"What Miss Lohan did that night was extremely dangerous and reprehensible. Someone could easily have been killed or seriously hurt because of her irresponsible decisions," Rice said in a statement released by her Los Angeles attorneys.

According to the source mentioned above, the suit describes a high-speed car chase during which Rice and Peck believed they could be carjacked or shot at.

Lohan, whose recent movies "Georgia Rule" and "I Know Who Killed Me," bombed at box offices, crashed her car in May and was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. She entered a 45-day rehabilitation program and was released in mid-July, only days before the car chase.

She shot to stardom as a child actress in Disney movies such as "The Parent Trap" and "Freaky Friday."
