Word is Lindsay tried to get out of a tight spot and allegedly grazed a car belonging to the manager of a nearby hookah lounge -- as well as the guy's knee according to some reports -- then peeled out.
Cops were called, but a police spokesman told "People" magazine that the man told them there was no injury to his knee or his vehicle, so they left and closed the case. Witnesses at the scene also told TMZ the guy wasn't injured.
Then the guy found out who Lindsay was, and things quickly changed. He suddenly developed an injury, went to the emergency room, hired an attorney and now plans to file a police report, which could re-open the case.
Linds hit up Twitter to deny the allegations, calling the guy's accusations a "complete lie" and "absurd." She tweeted, "I've been at community service. Last night, I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn't even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi."
If Lindsay didn't do anything wrong, though, this is interesting: She was caught on camera switching places with her friend after the incident. Wait, what???!!! Are you telling me Lindsay may not be holding herself accountable for her own actions? Well, NOW I've heard everything!
TMZ posted a picture of Lindsay in the driver's seat at the scene of the accident, and video of the car a short time later, parked near two police cars. In the video, you can see Lindsay jump into the passengers seat and her friend get behind the wheel. In Lindsay's defense, it's not clear if they were trying to pull one over the cops or if Lohan was just too traumatized to drive after the incident.

UPDATE - ASHLEY JUDD IN DENIAL: ASHLEY JUDD'S rep has responded to Internet speculation that Judd has been injecting gunk into her face in an effort to beat back the ravages of time.
The rumors started after Ashley appeared on a Canadian talk show earlier this week, and her face appeared to be puffier than usual.
"This may have contributed to her face appearing 'puffy'.” He then issues this challenge: “Anyone who is truly paying attention and not looking to perpetuate a ridiculous story can look online further at photos of her last night during an Apple Store event in NYC and see for themselves that there is zero sign of plastic surgery, puffiness, fillers, etc.,”
I couldn’t find any photos of her at the event her rep cited, but I did find these from a visit she made to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime at the United Nations in New York City yesterday …
