Lindsay Lohan's troubles first began in 2005 when she was taken to hospital for crashing into a car that then collided with another vehicle. In 2007, she was arrested for her first DUI, and one month later she collided with a parked van. The following month Lohan was handed her second DUI. After a break from her behind-the-wheel troubles, in June 2012 she crashed her Porsche into an 18-wheeler and lied to police about who was driving at the time of the accident. In September 2013, she was arrested in New York after an alleged hit-and-run.
