On Wednesday evening, Justin Bieber accidentally plowed into a paparazzi photographer with his pick-up truck in Beverly Hills.
The accident occurred as the 23-year-old pop star was leaving Hillsong Church, where he’d attended a service.
A video featured on TMZ shows Bieber getting into the truck, which was swarmed by paparazzi, and trying to drive away.
A 57-year-old photog, standing by the passenger side of the truck, wound up getting hit as Bieber tried to leave.

The injured photographer, Maurice Lamont, posted the following update to Instagram:
“Hanging in there everybody … Hour before my birthday hits, I get ran over by Justin Bieber. Isn’t that something? He’s a good kid, though. I think the truck was a little bit too big for him though ’cause there’s no way he could see over the front — the slope it was on.
But like I said: He got out, he was compassionate, he’s a good kid, accidents happen. Hopefully everything works out here. Getting ready to go into X-ray right now!”

Pot head cancels the end of his tour…..trying to make everyone think he’s all spiritual again by going to some church in Beverly Hills and then hits someone as he’s leaving. Pot head needs to give the weed a rest.

Or maybe photogs need to get the hell out of the way of moving vehicles.

I’m glad the guy is ok, but despite his kind words he’ll be lawyered up soon. If he doesn’t want to get hit, he shouldn’t stand in the way of an automobile when the driver can’t see you.

I love to hate *The Biebs*…..he’s a spoiled brat……but anyone who “runs over” a camera sniper in the street has my respect.

Well that’s one way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Princess Di’s death.

Ran “OVER” a Photographer?
Guess Queerty didn’t watch the video they posted. Or they need to look up the word ‘over’.

I”m not a Bieber fan but maybe if the photographers weren’t surrounding cars they wouldn’t get hit.

Hope he saved some money after his religious guru takes all beebs money…Tom Cruise might be interested…
This kid cancelled his 18 -25 remaining shows to be with god..well ..all he had to do is call Dr Conrad Murray..he got Michael Jackson out of ALL of his concert dates.

I’d be willing to take one hell of a hit for that much attention from the Biebs. Preferably before Jesus gets too far up his ass.

This is important because? Was Ted Nugent giving the Biebs a blow job at the time?
