Photos: Justin Bieber In Beverly Hills Car Crash After Being Chased By Photog
Justin Bieber is off to a bumpy start since he recently moved to Beverly Hills. The 20-year-old pop star, who was riding shot gun in a Cadillac Escalade, got in a car crash today on Canon Drive as he was being chased by a paparazzo.
Witnesses told TMZ that the Escalade was speeding down the street trying to get away from the photographer when a BMW SUV came out of a parking structure by Bouchon. The driver smashed into the side of the Escalade at around 2 p.m.
After the crash, the Biebs was seen covering his head with a black t-shirt to avoid the paparazzi. Folks saw him quickly jump into another car, leaving the scene. Authorities told TMZ that nobody was hurt in the crash.
The "Boyfriend" singer just moved to Beverly Hills this week, renting out two units in a fancy condo.
