Nicole Richie: Car Accident Caused By Paparazzi

Benji Madden comes to Nicole Richie‘s rescue after she was involved in a car accident in Los Angeles on Monday (October 5).

The 28-year-old star was rear-ended by paparazzi, who were later arrested and booked for being unlicensed drivers.

“Ms. Richie was driving with a passenger around 2 p.m. when she was struck by two photographers driving in one vehicle behind her,” said Lt. Tony Lee of the Beverly Hills Police. “She complained of pain, and her passenger is transporting her to a local hospital. Her car sustained moderate damage. No paramedics were called to the scene.”

Get well soon, Nic!
