Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Saturday morning after partying with friends at Les Deux nightclub.

At a press conference on Saturday afternoon, police confirmed they found a “useable amount” of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine at the scene.

Lohan sustained injuries in her lower chest when her black Mercedes convertible struck a curb on Sunset Boulevard at about 5:30 a.m., police said. Two other people were in the car and all three left the scene of the accident shortly after it happened, according to Lt. Mitch McCann of the Beverly Hills police. No one else was hurt and no other cars were involved.

Officers went to the scene after receiving a 911 call about the accident, McCann said. Lohan and her friends had already left for the Century Park Hospital in another vehicle.

Officers tracked Lohan down at the hospital, where she was placed under arrest. Because she was admitted for treatment for her injuries, she was subsequently cited and released on the misdemeanor charge.

"Due to the ongoing investigation, we cannot reveal what her Blood Alcohol Content was, nor can we reveal if there were narcotics in her blood stream at the time of the accident," McCann told reporters on Saturday.

Lohan will have to appear in court to answer the citation, and additional charges including felony drug possession and drinking underage may be added after the DA office’s reviews the evidence, McCann said.



Lohan’s rep could not be reached for comment.

It has been a difficult year for the hard partying actress, who checked in to Wonderland, a residential rehabilitation center in L.A. on January 17.

Lohan spoke recently about her decision to enter the facility. "I said, 'I need to take control of my life. I need to take this time and I need to get my s*** together,'" she told an Australian newspaper as she was promoting her latest movie, “Georgia Rules.”

"I chose to go to Wonderland myself just because my life was unmanageable and I wasn't taking care of myself and I wasn't making the right decisions and I didn't know how to.”

A photographer for the X17 photo agency who had been shadowing Lohan said that the actress and two unidentified friends had been chauffeured by her bodyguard for a night of club hopping until roughly 5 a.m. At that point, per X17, she returned to her home to retrieve her car.

A half hour later, Lohan was speeding down Sunset and lost control of her Mercedes SL-65 convertible, plowing over the curb and into some trees, McCann said at an afternoon press conference.

By the time police arrived on scene, Lohan was gone and the smashed car had been moved to a nearby condo complex, McCann said.

Officers eventually tracked the actress down at Century City Doctors Hospital. McCann says Lohan was arrested at the hospital but not taken into custody so she could receive treatment for non-life-threatening injuries to her upper chest area. She had been driven to the hospital by a friend.

After leaving Les Deux around 3 a.m., the "Georgia Rule" star went to a house party in Hollywood Hills, which witnesses said she left looking clearly drunk. She made a pit stop at the Skybar at the Mondrian Hotel before being driven back to her condo around 4:45 a.m.

But Lohan's night didn't end there. She was spotted driving away from her condo around 5:15 a.m. and crashed not far away.

Svedka vodka has pulled out of sponsoring Lohan's 21st birthday bash, to be held this July in Las Vegas. According to Gatecrasher, Svedka was set to sponsor the two-day blowout, but recently rethought the deal. It seems the company thought it might seem irresponsible to be associated with the oft-rehabbing, DUI-driving starlet.

Lindsay Lohan leaves Les Deux club in Hollywood hours before her car crash (05/26/07). What a shocker! The blood tests she took will reveal what substances she had in her system.



Lindsay recently said:

"Just because I have a nightlife doesn't mean that I'm, you know, not a good actress.

"Without (the media attention) my career would be different. I think maybe people would have considered me more in the area of Natalie Portman and those girls.

"I don't really like the party girl image. I'm so afraid that people are going to misconstrue the person that I am just because of one picture of me, you know, not making the nicest face and then they use it to say I was really drunk."
