Photographer, who thought he spied Justin Bieber sitting in his parked white Ferrari, was struck by oncoming traffic as he walked across a Los Angeles freeway to get back to his car after snapping photos.
An opportune picture of the 18-year-old celebrity can rake in hard currency — but Bieber was not in the car at the time of the New Year’s Day incident.
California Highway Patrol officers had pulled over Bieber’s vehicle Tuesday evening at an off-ramp of Interstate 405.
The photographer spotted the sports car, parked his own vehicle across the street, crossed to get closer to Bieber’s car and took photos of its occupants, said Los Angeles Police spokesman James Stoughton.
A car struck the paparazzo as he crossed back across the street to leave, Stoughton said.
Authorities have not released his name.
“While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim,” Bieber said in a statement.
