Lohan settles car accident lawsuit

A waiter trying to clean up against actress Lindsay Lohan has settled a lawsuit against her over a car accident.

"It's been resolved," said Robert Klein, the lawyer for Raymundo Ortega, who settled for an undisclosed amount on Wednesday.

Lohan's Mercedes-Benz collided with Ortega's van as he was making a turn in October 2005. Although the California Highway Patrol concluded that Mr Ortega caused the accident by making an illegal U-turn, he sued Lohan seeking at least £105,000 in damages.

Mr Ortega's suit claimed Lohan was fleeing paparazzi at the time and was under the influence of alcohol.

A message left with Lohan's lawyer, David Ozeran, was not immediately returned. Her publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Mr Ozeran had said previously that there was no evidence Lohan was intoxicated.
