California Highway Patrol had pulled over Justin Bieber's white Ferrari for a routine traffic stop on the 405 Freeway, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Bieber was not in the vehicle, it was being driven by a friend who was instructed by police to pull off the freeway onto Sepulveda Blvd in Los Angeles.

The photographer was reportedly following the Ferrari when it was pulled over. The photographer then parked his car, got out and crossed Sepulveda Blvd to take photographs of the traffic stop.

As the photographer attempted to cross the street to return to his vehicle he was struck by a car.
