Sunday, 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.
