Washington, January 22 : Lindsay Lohan has held the tailing paparazzi at fault for her string of car collisions.

The `Mean Girls' actress has previously landed behind bars for her two DUI charges, including a 2007 incident when she was charged for possessing cocaine, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.

The singer has laid the blame of her crashes on snappers who chase her everywhere to get a picture.

"My car accident that I got into, where I got my first charge, I wouldn''t have been speeding up like I was if I didn''t have people shoving cameras in my windows. I was running away from the paparazzi," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Interview magazine.

"Especially late at night, when you''re trying to turn a corner, and then somebody else is speeding up alongside you.

"So, you know, it''s okay for someone to chase me and then try to cut me off so I ram my car into a tree... I mean, I know this guy was trying to do his job, but his ''job'' almost landed me half-dead.

"Not only that, but they all stand to make a lot more money at it if they''ve got pictures of you in a car crashed into a tree," she added. (ANI)
