Lindsay Lohan Sued Over Car Crash

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly being sued for her2012 car crash on Pacific Coast Highway in California.

As Gossip Cop reported at the time, the starlet was behind the wheel of a Porsche when she rammed into a truck in front of her.

Lohan later tried to claim she wasn’t driving, and was eventually charged with lying to police and reckless driving, a case in which she pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 90 days in a locked rehab facility earlier this year.

Now truck driver James Johnson – who claimedthat the incident was Lohan’s fault — is suing the actress over alleged injuries sustained in the accident, plus mental anguish.

He is seeking unspecified damages, reports TMZ.

A rep for Lohan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Johnny Depp has NOT died in a car crash, but hackers exploit rumours

Johnny Depp attends the 2008 Oscars

Hollywood movie actor Johnny Depp, famous for his roles in Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and Pirates of the Caribbean, became the unwitting star of an internet hoax which spread widely this weekend.

Innocent internet users were fooled by the hoax, spreading messages to their online friends that the popular film star, who lives in France with his partner Vanessa Paradis, had come to a tragic end at the side of a road in Bordeaux.

The bogus reports claimed that the 46-year-old actor had died in a drunken car crash, often linking to a webpage

which seemingly contained a CNN news report, including a photograph of the wreckage.

However, the webpage (despite appearances to the casual browser) wasn’t actually on CNN’s website at all.

Part of the report reads:

Johnny Depp’s car was found along side a road outside Bordeaux, France, with the guard rail embedded deep inside the car.

A tourist was driving down the road when he saw a car wreck alongside the road. He stepped out and tried to see if anyone was in there while his wife dialed the police for help.

To his dismay, he found the a body in the car among liquor bottles.

The police arrived at the scene shortly after and pulled out the body of the former actor, Johnny Depp.

Many people forwarded on messages about Depp’s death making “Johnny Depp RIP” a trending topic on Twitter, which helped to fuel the rumour and spread it even further and faster.

The only problem was, inevitably, that the people hadn’t checked their facts before passing on the news. Johnny Depp, I’m delighted to report, hasn’t died in a car crash.
