LINDSAY LOHAN SETTLES 2007 HIGHWAY CHASE SUIT

Lindsay Lohan has settled a lawsuit filed by a woman who was chased by the actress in a pre-dawn pursuit that has haunted the actress in civil and criminal courts for nearly three years.

The starlet settled the lawsuit filed by Tracie Rice, who claimed she was traumatized and lost a well-paying job because of the incident.

Rice was a passenger in a car driven by the mother of Lindsay’s former assistant, who the actress pursued down the scenic Pacific Coast Highway in July 2007. The chase ended with Lindsay’s arrest in the parking lot of the Santa Monica Police Department; Rice has said she thought the actress was trying to carjack her.

No details of the settlement were released.

“Lindsay is very pleased to put this unfortunate event behind her,” her attorney, Ed McPherson, wrote in a statement.
