Speaking to TMZ, an insider close to the actress said: 'Lindsay is sticking with the "truck cut me off!!!" story, but with a twist, she claims she slammed on the brakes, but nothing.'
Accused: The driver whose truck Lindsay Lohan hit has come forward to claim it was her fault
The man in question – who has been identified only as James – told TMZ that he had been minding his own business when he felt the impact of Lindsay’s Porsche.
He said: ‘She came over and hit the back of the truck. Then the car pulled up on the sidewalk.’
And he claims he can prove it, with the help of eyewitnesses who were at the scene.
He said: ‘They have a video of this whole incident.’

The truck driver alleged that he was driving at 40 miles per hour along the Pacific Coast Highway when Lindsay hit him.
Meanwhile, sources told TMZ that Lindsay is insisting that the truck driver has made the whole story up in a possible attempt to extort money out of her.
Apparently she is also telling friends that she never offered him a bribe to keep quiet, as he previously reportedly stated.
Lindsay was taken to the Santa Monica UCLA Hospital following the crash but was discharged after a check-up by doctors.
She then reportedly headed straight from hospital to the set of her latest movie Liz & Dick.
And the starlet reportedly requested to have her injuries covered up with make-up so that she could quickly resume her role, refusing to allow producers to cancel the day of filming.
Pulling no punches: The truck driver is claiming eyewitnesses can prove the accident was entirely of Lindsay's making
Her spokesman Steve Honig said yesterday: 'Lindsay was involved in an automobile accident today on her way to the set. She was brought to Santa Monica UCLA hospital as a precaution.
'She is fine and was released less than two hours later and is already headed back to the set to resume work. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident.'
Police have confirmed alcohol was not a factor in the crash, which occurred after she rammed a high-end Porsche sports car into the rear of a heavy goods vehicle.
The car looked a write-off as it was driven away in a tow truck, which is sure to be a big disappointment for the rental company the vehicle had been leased from.
