Truck Driver Lindsay Lohan Rear Ended Filed For Bankruptcy Last Year!

James Johnson, the truck driver rear ended on Friday by Lindsay Lohan, who has reportedly hired an attorney to pursue possible legal aciton against the starlet, filed for bankruptcy last year, listing a mere $80.00 in cash assets, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

As previously reported, Lohan rear ended the dump truck on PCH last Friday. The Porsche the actress was driving was totaled and sent Lohan and her assistant to the emergency room. Both were later released and didn't suffer serious injuries.

According to the court docs filed by Johnson in February 2011, and his business JJ's Trucking, he had $57k in debts. The trucker owes $3k in taxes and earns $2762.00 per month. When Johnson filed for bankruptcy he had only $80.00 in cash, furniture worth $3500 and owed $10k on his Ford F150 truck. Johnson had a truck repossessed in 2008 and still owes $28k.

The Compton based trucker reportedly claimed in the moments after the accident that Lohan's assistant allegedly tried to bribe him to not report it to the police. Johnson said he rebuffed the offer.

TMZ spoke with truck driver James, who tells us he was injured in the crash, and apparently wants money for his pain and troubles ... thus the reason for a lawyer.

James says he saw a doctor Sunday, despite previously telling us he felt fine. He would not describe the nature of his injuries, on the advice of his hired gun.

Just another hungry tiger coming for Lindsay's bank account and the money from exclusive interviews about her.

I believe her story that she was cut off and the brakes failed because:

a. assholes always do that on that stretch
b. I've never liked the braking (or lack therefore of) on Porches

Interesting to see someone else's history thrown in their face in a Lindsay case for once.

but weren't the brakes on her rental checked like 2 days before she got it?

I'm normally team Lindsay but did you see that post where she lied to the cop. Before I was preaching Lindsay is trying to get her life together and it's fucked up that people keep trying to pull her down but she's not helping herself. Don't get me wrong this dude is a douche canoe, if this is true which I suspect is the case, and deserved to be fucked by the long dick of the law but I can't with her anymore.

In my state, it doesn't matter. If you rear end someone, you're at fault because you should've been more in control of your car.

You in Texas?

it's like this in Arizona as well

I thought that was the rule in CA too but idk now
hazel_belle 12th-Jun-2012 12:35 am (UTC)
That is the law in New York...

That's the law in CA. You rear end someone it's because you were following too closely or not paying attention. 99% of the time when you rear end someone you are at fault.

I don't think that the brakes necessarily had to have failed. At highway speeds, if she was too close to begin with the "draft" of his much MUCH larger vehicle would have dragged her tiny ass porsche forward, brakes or no brakes.

Which is precisely why vehicles of that size have warning stickers on the back of them.

wait..she said she was cut off AND her brakes failed. lol she a damn lie.

lol rental companies check their cars for stuff like that all the time.

Dump truck drivers don't normally cut people off though, at least from my experience.

If her brakes legit failed, I doubt she'd be out of the hospital to be making up different excuses just yet
