Lindsay Lohan was caught up in controversy early Tuesday after hitting a member of the paparazzi while trying to drive away from New York club Butter.
This all occurred hours before her father, Michael, was released from a New York state prison after more than two years behind bars for DUI.
As the photographer was in pain on the ground, the actress was escorted out of her white BMW and into a bodyguard's black SUV nearby.
An ambulance was called to the scene and the unnamed photographer was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a bruised knee and later released.
Lohan and her entourage then raced through the New York streets to escape the photos on her tail, and when the vehicle she was a passenger in drove the wrong way up a one-way street, the paparazzi followed and two photographers were pulled over by police and cited.
The singer reportedly returned to the scene of the accident an hour later
