The LAPD would like to talk to heirhead Paris Hilton after hearing reports that the socialite hit a parked car - causing $1000 worth of damage - and driving away without attempting to find the car's owner or contacting the police. Witnesses say that she also ran a stop sign and then drove 50 mph through a 20 mph zone trying to get away from the paparazzi.
"The Simple Life" star was filmed on video by a cameraman leaving the scene of the accident without leaving contact details - a violation of California law which can be punishable by a six month jail sentence.
Her mouthpiece Elliot Mintz said, "Did she commit a crime? No. She was swarmed by paparazzi .The intensity of the lights, flashbulbs, momentarily disoriented her. She backed up, there was a minor fender-bender. No injuries. She then told me she notified one of the parking people at the facility how to contact her and asked the person to please pass that along to the owner of the struck car."
"Paris is a very responsible and a very good driver, she takes her driving seriously. This was unfortunate and it will be handled appropriately."
The website TMZ (which has the video of the accident) is reporting that Paris has been cited six times for traffic violations in the past five months.
