HOLLYWOOD - Scarlett Johansson's trip to California theme park Disneyland ended in disasterSunday, Aug. 21, when her Mercedes hit another car as the
paparazzi chased her.
According to eyewitnesses, the Lost in Translation beauty was driving near
the tourist attraction's entrance with two pals, when she swerved to get away
from pursuing photographers and hit another vehicle containing a woman and her
two young daughters.
An onlooker says, "The front of Scarlett's Mercedes damaged the side of the
other car pretty badly.
"Scarlett looked really shaken up and when both cars pulled over in a safe
spot, she apologized profusely to the other woman. After that, they spent
around 40 minutes on their phones, sorting out all of their insurance and legal
paperwork."
A Mercedes representative arrived soon afterwards with a new car for the
actress to drive home.
Johansson's publicist Marcel Pariseau states, "The fender bender was induced
by the paparazzi, who chased her for 45 minutes."
In June, fellow Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan was leftwith minor
injuries after photographer Galo Ramirez allegedly drove into her car
deliberately. Ramirez was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assault with a
deadly weapon. The case is pending.
And just last week, Reese Witherspoon got the disappointing
news that a group of paparazzi who "besieged" her in April will not face
criminal charges of false imprisonment.
