Never See It Coming

A photographer was killed yesterday, January 1, in Los Angeles after trying to get a picture of Justin Bieber’s Ferrari. Justin was thought to be in the car at the time, but sources have revealed Justin was not.

TMZ is reporting, “Bieber’s white Ferrari was pulled over by California Highway Patrol for speeding on Sepulveda Blvd. … near the Getty Center in LA.  We’re told a paparazzo — who was following the Ferrari at the time of the pull over — attempted to snap pics while officers conducted the traffic stop … until CHP advised the photog to move back because the situation was unsafe. At some point, we’re told the photog was struck by an oncoming vehicle and killed.”

Justin did release a statement to the press about the incident saying, “While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim”.

Our thoughts and prayers are also with the family of the victim. It will be interesting to see if this tragic accident brings any changes to the current laws regarding celebrities and the paparazzi.
