Lindsay Lohan taken to hospital after being hit by a motorbike on night out with girlfriend

Lindsay Lohan was taken to hospital after being hit by a motorbike on a night out clubbing.

The actress had been partying with her girlfriend Samantha Ronson in New York when the bike collided with her early on Saturday morning, sources said.

Lindsay's dad Michael Lohan confirmed to the New York Post his daughter had been in an accident.

He said: 'She's not hurt. That's all I really care about.'

An employee at the Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan told the paper Lindsay was treated and released at about 4am.

It was not clear if an accident report was filed.

Lindsay has a history of mishaps on the roads - but on most occasions she has been in the driver's seat.

In August 2007 she made a plea deal on misdemenour drunk-driving and cocaine charges involving two separate arrests.

The deal meant she was sentenced to a day in prison, but she famously spent just 84 minutes at Lynwood jail.

The Hollywood star's first DUI arrest was in May 2007, when she crashed her black Mercedes in Beverly Hills after a night of wild partying.

She was whisked away to hospital before police arrived, but cocaine was recovered from her car.

Two months later Lindsay was busted again just 11 days after leaving rehab.

She was arrested for DUI and driving with a suspended licence after a bizarre car chase where she pursued her former assistant's mother.
