Transcripts reveal Scarlett’s 911 call after Disneyland motor accident
“Hi, we’ve just gotten into an accident,” the 20-year-old Lost in Translation star tells the dispatcher. “Unfortunately we have a bunch of paparazzi cars also following us.”
The tape recording was released by the California Highway Patrol after Johansson’s publicist said the actress had hit a car while trying to elude four sport utility vehicles full of celebrity photographers that had followed her from her Hollywood home.
No one was hurt in the August 18 accident. Johansson clipped the right side of a car carrying a woman and her two daughters.
“About the media,” the male dispatcher asks Johansson at one point: “Are they starting to cause problems?”
“They’ve pulled all around us,” she replies on the 911 call, “waiting for us to...”
“Gotcha,” the dispatcher responds. “Okay, I’m going to roll a couple of [units] out there, okay Miss Johansson?”
The owner of a photo agency has said that some of his photographers had been trailing Johansson for four days and had tracked her to Anaheim. But he denied they had contributed to the accident.
Although Johansson’s publicist Marcel Pariseau initially said the accident occurred in a Disneyland parking lot, the 911 tape suggests that it happened outside the park, on Disneyland Drive near the entrance to the Santa Ana Freeway. “We pulled off to the side,” Johansson says on the tape.
The incident came two months after a celebrity photographer was arrested on suspicion of hitting Lindsay Lohan’s car near a shopping mall.
