(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Amanda Bynes has been accused of fleeing the scene after an alleged car accident, it has been reported.

According to US website TMZ the actress is said to have "slammed into a car on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley on April 10" and driven through a red traffic light to escape the scene.

The victim of the crash tried to follow the car but couldn't keep up with the driver.

However, they were able to write down the number plate of the culprit's vehicle which was identified as a hire car.

After police contacted the rental company, they were told that the BMW in question was rented by Amanda.

"The victim then showed up at a CHP substation and ID'd Amanda from a photo lineup. And get this... the photo of Amanda was taken just 4 days earlier - it was her mug shot from a DUI arrest," a source told the website.

The Easy A star has been involved in a number of car-related incidences recently. The 24-year-old was arrested last month on suspicion of driving under the influence after she side-swiped a police car.

Shortly after, Amanda was stopped by police after hitting a truck and driving off but she was let off when it was established she hadn't noticed the impact.

According to TMZ, the third incident has been "immediately rejected" by a filing officer at the L.A. City Attorney's Office for lack of witnesses. (C) Cover Media
