Noah Cyrus is reportedly being sued for causing a car accident. According to TMZ, the 16-year-old texted behind the wheel when driving her mother Tish Cyrus' Jeep on the 101 in Los Angeles before slamming into the back of another car.

The victim named EJ Hawkins was sent to the hospital and later filed a lawsuit against Miley Cyrus' younger sister, claiming that he suffered "loss of love, affection, companionship, comfort, society and sexual relations" in addition to the physical pain as a result of the incident.

Hawkins also named Tish Cyrus as defendant in the suit because she let her young daughter drive the jeep.

Noah Cyrus is the youngest kid in the family and she's currently trying to launch her own music career. "My dad [Billy Ray Cyrus] always had me sing alongside him while he played guitar. He taught me how to harmonize to an old song of his, 'Missing You'," she said in an interview earlier this year.

She also revealed that she'd been writing songs for herself and other artists. "Writing is the best way to get your mind clear. It's also a great way to explain your past or what you hope for the future," she continued.
