Zac Efron

Zac Efron has been hit by a lawsuit three years after allegedly causing a three-vehicle pile up in Los Angeles.

Katie Porter claims she was rear ended by a taxi, which was shunted by the vehicle the High School Musical star was driving back in 2006.
 
The plaintiff states she has spent the past three years fighting for damages with the insurance companies, and she's had enough.
 
Porter's mum tells TMZ.com the firms behind each of the drivers is claiming the other is responsible for repair costs.
 
The alleged crash victim wants $1,200 (£800) for repair costs and $400 (£266) for a rental car. Her father, who lives in Oklahoma, is also suing for plane and motel costs.

The young actor's people have not yet commented on the lawsuit.

Efron has enjoyed major success in the last twelve months with the release of High School Musical 3: Senior Year and 17 Again, which saw him move away from the musical genre.
