Florida police have found no evidence of Samantha Markle's alleged car crash after being reportedly chased by paparazzi.

However, police in her hometown say there is no record of such an altercation - and that if it did happen, her boyfriend may be charged with hit-and-run.

"Even if they hit a stationary property such as a wall under Florida law you are required to report that to law enforcement," Lt. Kim Montes told DailyMail.com.

She continued: "If you didn't that's considered to be a hit and run."

Her 60-year-old boyfriend Mark Phillips could face two months in jail for failing to report the incident.
