Lohan finds unlikely ally in Slash

Slash has defended Lindsay Lohan following her latest arrest.

The 'Liz & Dick' actress was arrested just after midnight on Wednesday for fleeing the scene of an accident in New York when her car allegedly hit a pedestrian and after it was revealed she had been at a Slash concert before the incident, he took to twitter to defend her.

The musician wrote: "The situation last night w/Lindsey was a lame paparazzi stunt. She didn't do anything. it's being blown out of proportion."

Lohan’s alleged victim, Jose Rodriquez, claims she was "slurring" her words after the collision outside the city's Dream Hotel.

Jose said: "I saw this car come real quick and hit me. I was in so much pain. I fell to the side.

"When she got out of the car, I asked: 'Why did you do that?' She said: 'You have to get out of the way.' She told me I have to move."

"She was slurring. She smelled like alcohol real bad."

Rodriquez said one of the men in the car moved Lohan from the driver's seat into the back and then told him there was "no problem".

Rodriquez added: "He kept saying: 'We have to move the car', and for me to move. They drove off, like it didn't matter."

However, Lohan is said to have told pals she feels she has been "set up" and thinks there's something "fishy" about her arrest.

The 26-year-old star claims she had no idea she had struck anyone and didn't know about the incident until she was arrested when she left the hotel at around 2.30am.
