Justin Bieber Drives Truck Over Papparazzo (Video)

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Justin Bieber hasn't had the greatest luck while driving lately. After getting a ticket earlier this month for texting behind the wheel, on Wednesday he struck a paparazzo with his monster pickup truck, according to TMZ.com. Photographers had gathered around the vehicle, and when he started to pull away, one of them was run over by the right front tire. The paparazzo was taken to the hospital and is is recovering from non-life threatening injuries, according to police.

The crash was reported at 9:24 p.m. outside the Saban Theatre in the area of Hamilton Drive and Wilshire Boulevard, according to Beverly Hills police Lt. Scott Dowling.

The man was trying to take pictures of Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian, according to reports, and video from the scene shows Bieber getting into the truck, clipping the photographer as the singer was turning.

"The driver of the vehicle completed the investigation on scene and was released," Dowling said.

Bieber, who recently canceled the remaining dates of his "Purpose" tour, was at the theater to attend a church meeting, according to reports from the scene. Bieber stayed by the man's side for about 10 minutes until paramedics and police arrived, TMZ reported.

But don't forget the good in Bieber, he's not all bad boy — last week he visited Children's Hospital Orange County to listen, pray, and take selfies with fans.
