Report: Lindsay Lohan on drugs during crash

Claims on web about cause of actress's smash

Lindsay Lohan had cocaine and nearly twice the legal limit of alcohol in her system when she was arrested last month and cited for driving under the influence, TMZ.com reports.

When reached for comment by PEOPLE, Beverly Hills police Lt. Mitch McCann would only say that TMZ "won't be sued for inaccuracy."

The information was posted Thursday morning – shortly after Beverly Hills police started forwarding reports on the case to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

DA's spokeswoman Jane Robison tells PEOPLE that they are still gathering reports from police, and aren't ready to release any information on Lohan or to charge her with a crime. Lohan's arraignment is set for Aug. 24.

Lohan, who entered Promises treatment center in Malibu on May 29, crashed her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible around 5:30 a.m. on May 26. She was briefly hospitalized for minor injuries after the collision.

Police later said they found a substance tentatively identified as "a usable amount of cocaine" in connection with the accident.
