Celebrities, be careful when hitting the road, especially when photographers are around!
Socialite Nicole Richie was taken to a Los Angeles hospital on Monday after she was rear-ended by paparazzi.
"Ms. Richie was driving with a passenger around 2PM when she was struck by two photographers driving in one vehicle behind her," says Lt. Tony Lee of the Beverly Hills Police. "She complained of pain, and her passenger transported her to a local hospital. Her car sustained moderate damage. No paramedics were called to the scene."
The driver who rear-ended Richie is being arrested and booked for being unlicensed because "officers could not verify his identification," adds Lt. Lee. "He's being physically brought into the station. This will likely be a misdemeanor traffic violation, and the photographer's vehicle will be towed."
Richie's two children were not in the vehicle and reports are stating that she’s in stable condition and wanted to see her own doctor.
