Justin Bieber Accused of Hitting Photographer With His Ferrari

Justin Bieber may have run afoul of the law after reports surfaced
that he allegedly hit a photographer with his Ferrari Monday night
and then fled the scene of the accident.
The 19-year-old teen heartthrob took in a comedy show at The
Laugh Factory with his rapper pal, Lil Twist, when, upon exiting the
club around 11:45 p.m., the two were swarmed by paparazzi
snapping pics.
After security brought up his white Ferrari, Bieber allegedly got
behind the wheel. At that point, according to eyewitnesses, he and Lil
Twist tried to drive away when and one of the photographers
apparently became pinned between his vehicle and a parked car,
injuring his leg. The Biebs, however, allegedly kept going, prompting
police to be called to the scene.
As for the paparazzo, he was purportedly taken by ambulance to a
nearby hospital, but no word on the nature of his injury.
Authorities confirm to E! News that officers did respond to a call of an
incident at that location, but could not identify the parties involved
and said that authorities were investigating it as a traffic collision, not
as a hit-and-run as some media outlets have reported.
"LAPD can confirm we are investigating a traffic collision that
occurred around 11:45 p.m.," a police spokesman said. "Officers did
interview all parties involved and determined there was no hit-and-
run. It appears the pedestrian in the roadway was a major factor in
the collision."
Bieber's rep could not be reached for comment, and it's unclear
whether the photog might file a civil complaint against the 19-year-
old singer.
This isn't the first time Bieber's faced scrutiny by L.A.'s Finest. Last
month, authorities probed complaints about alleged reckless driving
on the part of the "Boyfriend" crooner within the gated Calabasas,
Calif., community in which he lives.
Bieber was also accused of battery after he purportedly spit in his
neighbor's face in March.
