Scarlett Johansson may not have had enough star power stateside to turn her movie The Island into a major hit, but she's certainly famous enough to get the attention of the paparazzi. The young actress got into a car accident in the Disneyland parking lot on Thursday trying to avoid photographers who admitted to trailing her for four days. When Scarlett noticed that she was being followed by four SUVs, she paid the $10 fee to enter the Disneyland parking lot in order to avoid them. Unfortunately, the stress of her situation caused the actress to clip the side of a car carrying a woman and two children. Johansson's publicist said, "[The] four SUVs surrounded the accident. [Scarlett] saw one photographer come out of his car and start snapping away." The owner of the photo agency that employs the photographers claims his workers were not out of line: "Our photographers were about a block [behind her] when the collision occurred. She was basically by herself. There wasn't any car behind her closer than 40 yards." Johansson's crash is just the latest of several celebrity accidents caused by paparazzi. Lindsay Lohan and Reese Witherspoon have also had close calls due to photographers following them. For pictures of the incident, see just jared.
