Lindsay's assistant: She was driving

Los Angeles - Lindsay Lohan's assistant claims that she was driving the car at the time of her crash reports TMZ.

The troubled actress has stuck by her story that she wasn't behind the wheel of the car at the time of the accident on Los Angeles' Pacific Coast Highway in June. Lindsay also claims that the police are out to get her.

However, when officers interviewed her assistant Gavin shortly after the crash at the hospital where Lindsay was being treated, he told police the Liz & Dick star Lindsay was driving.

Gavin's statement backs up the account of the truck driver Lindsay hit, who also claimed he saw Lindsay behind the wheel.

Lindsay trying to abide by the law

However, the 26-year-old actress believes Los Angeles cops have a "vendetta to bring her down" after they are pushing for her to be jailed for lying about her the crash.

Lindsay is "terrified" of going back to jail because Judge Stephanie Sautner has told her she will violate her current probation if she breaks the law again.

She reportedly told friends: "One car accident could ruin everything for me."

Lindsay is on probation since being found guilty of stealing a necklace in July 2011, for which she was sentenced to 120 days in prison and 480 hours of community service. Since then Lindsay has been telling friends that she's been trying everything to abide by the law.
