Lindsay
Lohan Hits Back at Drunk Driving Claims
12/27/07
Lindsay Lohan denies allegations she had been drinking alcohol at
celebrity hotspot The Ivy just before a 2005 car crash in Beverly Hills.
Raymundo Ortega, the driver of the car Lohan smashed in to, alleges the
actress was driving under the influence as part of his $200,000 negligence
lawsuit.
But, in a 15 December (07) declaration, Lohan insisted she was sober
when she got behind the wheel of her car - and had not touched alcohol
while dining at The Ivy.
Filed on Friday (21Dec07) in Los Angeles Superior Court, the
declaration was accompanied by a statement from the waiter who served
Lohan, and a police officer working security at the restaurant.
Both state Lohan did not drink alcohol during the lunchtime visit to
The Ivy.
Lohan is countersuing Ortega, claiming that he was at fault for the
accident - because he performed an illegal U-turn.
