A paparazzi who was run over by Justin Bieber`s car when he was taking pictures of him seems to be in good condition now and he has a message to the singer.

The singer is alleged to have hit the photographer on Wednesday night after driving away in a pick-up truck from a Beverly Hills church.

In all fairness to Justin, he immediately exited his vehicle to look after Maurice until emergency services could get to him.
In a video posted on Instagram, the photographer, who is seen lying in bed in hospital, discusses being hit by Bieber’s car, explaining “an hour before my birthday hits, I get ran over by Justin Bieber. Ain’t that something?”

He then adds, “I think the truck was a little bit too big for him though, because there’s no way he could see over the front. It was the slope it was on.”

Thankfully, Maurice’s injuries are not life threatening and he is now recovering in hospital.

The photographer even took the time to absolve Justin of any guilt, uploading a video from his hospital bed where he described the young singer as being ‘compassionate’ after the accident.

Just as he was about to get x-rays taken, Maurice, who also goes by the nickname Shotgetter, recorded the following message for his Instagram followers:

“Hour before my birthday hits, I get ran over by Justin Bieber. Isn’t that something?

He’s a good kid though. I think the truck was a little bit too big for him though, because there’s no way he could see over the front. It was the slope it was on.

But, like I said, he got out, he was compassionate. He’s a good kid, accidents happen. Hopefully, everything works out here.”
