Lindsay Lohan struck some while driving away from a club, and then fled the scene ... TMZ has learned.
Lindsay was in her new Porche when she left the Sayers Club in Hollywood at just after midnight Wednesday.
We're told she was driving out of the parking lot when she was blocked by paparazzi and bystanders around the nearby Hookah Lounge.
Lindsay made contact with the manager of the Hookah Lounge with the car and then peeled out.
Cops were called, came to the scene, interviewed people inside the Hookah Lounge -- including the manager who was struck -- and then left.
We're told Lindsay may have been the one who called police to protect herself from paparazzi, and that's why cops came.
