The frantic emergency call a woman made as she was chased by Lindsay Lohan through the streets of Santa Monica has been released.

The call was made just minutes before Lindsay was arrested on Tuesday night on suspicion of driving under the influence, driving with a suspended licence and possession of cocaine.

The caller is presumed to be Michelle Peck, the mother of Lindsay's former assistant Tarin Graham.

But the police would neither confirm nor deny it was Peck on the phone although they did say that Lindsay was the driver of the other vehicle involved in the incident.

Lindsay is believed to have jumped in a male friend's white GMC car and decided to chase her former PA Tarin following a bust up.

However the woman who said she was just on her way home was unaware who it was behind them.

It is the second time the Hollywood actress has been been busted for driving offences.
