Lindsay Lohan is pulling herself together after another traumatizing car accident involving a paparazzo. Sources tell us a photographer chasing the 20-year-old actress rear-ended her black Mercedes near the corner of Olympic and La Cienega in L.A. around 2 a.m. yesterday. "She was apparently able to drive a short distance from the crash," says a source. "But she later pulled over and called a friend to pick her up." Lohan’s rep, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, confirmed the accident, but had no information on the "Bobby" star’s condition or whether she had filed a police report. Earlier in the evening, Lohan was videotaped outside the hot spot Hyde, sitting in her car while talking to a "mystery man," according to TMZ.com. "La Lohan appeared a little upset and teary-eyed under a hooded shirt" before "speeding off, alone," the gossip site said. Lohan was driving a black Benz in May 2005 when a photographer broadsided her with his minivan. Lohan suffered cuts and bruises, and her car was badly dented. Cops booked the lensman for assault, but authorities let him off after deciding he hadn’t rammed into her car intentionally. Five months later, Lohan was speeding away from paparazzi and ran into another van that was making an illegal U-turn. The first car accident helped spur lawmakers and the LAPD to crack down on stalkerazzi. But Lohan is among the photogs’ prime quarry. In another recent wee-hours incident, a sobbing Lohan called police, alleging that two paparazzi had tried to hit her Cadillac Escalade. "She was being hounded," says Zelnik. "She called her mom and cried." Friends fear she could end up like Princess Diana. "I think Lindsay has been hounded by paparazzi more than most celebs," says Zelnik.

I feel for her on this one because they really do hound her and it does risk her safety.
