Paris Hilton's Hit And Run
June 13th 2006 06:00
Social butterfly and heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune, Paris Hilton, is under fire after she hit a parked car, then sped off before the owner of the damaged car arrived. Under Californian law, Ms Hilton could be facing up to 6 months behind bars. Is the Simple Life starlet now a ‘hit and run’ criminal?
As it turns out, the whole thing was caught on video surveillance. The video portrays Paris after a shopping spree saying goodbye to a friend, getting into her Range Rover, backing up and crashing into the Honda Civic behind her. There is no evidence in the video to suggest that she left her details for the owner of the damaged car, but rather the video shows Ms Hilton speeding off after the sound of the crash. Sounds like a clear violation of ‘hit and run’ laws to me.
Did she really think she could get away with it? She has paparazzi following her 24/7 who no doubt, will be selling images of the incident to magazines at this very moment. Has the peroxide finally seeped into her head?
No, not yet.
Her publicist, Elliot Mintz, recently announced that Ms Hilton left her details with one of the car park attendants to pass on to the Honda owner. She surprisingly did the right thing and consequently, has not violated any laws.
