Lindsay settles busboy lawsuit
23/02/2008 22:12 - (SA)
Los Angeles - A busboy looking to clean up settled a lawsuit this week against actress Lindsay Lohan over a 2005 car accident.
"It's been resolved," said Robert G Klein, the attorney of busboy Raymundo Ortega, who settled for an undisclosed amount on Wednesday.
Lohan's Mercedes-Benz collided with Ortega's van as he was making a turn in October 2005.
Though the California Highway Patrol concluded that Ortega caused the accident by making an illegal U-turn, he sued Lohan seeking at least $200 000 in damages.
Ortega's suit contended that Lohan was fleeing paparazzi at the time and was under the influence of alcohol.
A message left with Lohan's attorney, David J Ozeran, was not immediately returned.
Lohan publicist Leslie Sloane-Zelnik did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
Ozeran has said there was no evidence Lohan was intoxicated.
