Lindsay Lohan has been involved in another car accident - her third crash in less than three weeks.

Lohan and her assistant were caught up in a smash in Glendale, California, on Monday night when the actress' Maserati rear-ended a Subaru vehicle, damaging the left front bumper of the luxury sportscar.

The Mean Girls star was a passenger in the Maserati, while her unnamed assistant was driving, according to JustJared.com.

Lohan was previously involved in a crash at Jack Nicholson's Hollywood Hills home earlier this month, when she drove her Mercedes into a gatepost outside the property, after being let in to escape the paparazzi.

She was involved in another incident just days later, when her driver clipped a gate while escorting the star home from a night out at Los Angeles' Sky Bar hang-out.

Lohan is currently serving a three-year probation order relating to her 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction.
