Default Lindsey Lohan smacks up her Mercedes Twin-Turbo V12 near Bev Hills (pics)

I knew something was up when I heard the news choppers hovering near my house, so I hopped on my bike and, 3 blocks away, near Beverly and Robertson Boulevards, snapped these pics (more in the posts below) :

Is SHE OK?

Given the first-rate safety features built into that car, probably so if she was belted up properly....and maybe even if she wasn't.

again!!!!!??? This chic has some bad luck. Hope shes okay. And I hope someone takes that beast of a car out of her hands. She needs to downgrade to a SL500 or 55 if she loves the sportiness.

Airbags deployed. So she had to be going....what....around 35 or so?? I think thats what it is. Looks real solid and fixable.

Default speaking of air bags....

...she felt good enough to run into a nearby store to evade the paparazzi:

Welp, there goes $200k worth of beautiful machinery

I'm sure she's fine but that car's not. It's so tempting to slam her without knowing all the facts...

My neighbor's kids came out to see what the fuss was all about, too:

Dang, that sucks for her. Was this the same car that she got clipped by the papparazzi last time? I thought it was Silver?

She will probably be chauffered around for awhile. I highly doubt she cares about insurance. She has more than enough money.

Here's the car being towed away. In the background is Cedars Sinai Hospital, where the van driver (and possibly Lindsey) was treated. Two blocks away from the accident.

Thanks, but in this part of town, you can't throw a rock without hitting one of the paparazzi! So they got just as many pics as I did. Here's a few of the vultures in the pic:

OMG the Chevy Astro Minivan is really banged up. That is just so sad to see. What a fine piece of engineering. This just makes me sick.
