Nicole Richie is Seeking Medical Attention Following Car Crash

The Simple Life star Nicole Richie was driving a Land Rover when she was hit by a paparazzo in a Jeep Cherokee in Beverly Hills yesterday (10-5-09), and told police she was experiencing discomfort and was going to hospital.

“Ms. Richie was driving with a passenger around 2pm when she was struck by two photographers driving in one vehicle behind her," Lieutenant Tony Lee of the Beverly Hills Police said.

“She complained of pain. Her car sustained moderate damage. No paramedics were called to the scene.”

After the incident, Nicole’s mother Brenda arrived on the scene to console her crying daughter.

When asked if Nicole was feeling alright, Brenda replied: “No she’s not.”

Nicole and her mother are then believed to have stopped by Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment.

The driver who ran into Nicole is being investigated for driving without a license.

“Officers could not verify his identification," Lee added. "He's being physically brought into the station. This will likely be a misdemeanour traffic violation, and the photographer's vehicle will be towed.”

Another adult was in the car with Nicole, but her two children with partner Joel Madden – 20-month-old daughter Harlow and one-month-old son Sparrow – were not present.

Pulp Fiction Screenwriter Sentenced To Jail

The crash killed passenger and family friend Andreas Zini and critically injured Avary's wife, Gretchen. A $4.1 million settlement has been reached with the victim's family. Avary has taken full responsibility for his actions, saying: "It has profoundly altered me to the very core of my being."

Wienermobile Crashes Into House

A Wisconsin homeowner got the surprise of his life when the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile got stuck in his deck and garage. The driver apparently drove down a dead-end street, and as she was turning the vehicle around, forgot to put the car in reverse and crashed into the house. Luckily, the owner of the house wasn't home at the time and nobody was injured. We can't say the same for the home or the Wienermobile, which both suffered some damage. We bet Oscar Mayer himself (who just died eariler this month) is rolling over in his grave.
