Paparazzo Seriously Injured in Spears Madness

UPDATE: Miraculously, the victim was released from the hospital last night with only a tire mark on his arm. Not a single broken bone, and no internal injuries. Lucky guy!

TMZ has confirmed a paparazzo on a motorcycle has been injured while chasing Britney Spears.

The accident, first reported by That Other Blog, happened around 5:00 PM tonight, roughly a mile from the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel. Several cars were in line chasing the pop princess when one hit another photog on a motorcycle, throwing the rider off the bike and onto the road. We're told the rider was seriously injured and transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. His current condition is unknown.

UPDATE: We're told that the injured person is what is known as a "spotter," and does not actually carry a camera. He will follow the star and tip off other photographers to her whereabouts. We hear he's fairly new to the Britney beat, only appearing on the scene in the past several days.

362. If you ask me, that's what he gets. Making a living off of following people and taking their picture at inoppurtune times is sick. It was just a matter of time really. I know that sounds a little harsh, but I don't have any sympathy for papparazzi or anyone who helps them.

365. I am actually quite sad about the so-called "spotter." Sad that the SOB wasn't killed or injured for life.
These blood suckers put this woman through living hell with constant watching, following and in general, stalking her.
Sites like this one are as guilty as the people in question because they buy the pictures and feed off of this woman's misery.
Britney, there is one chance in a million you will read my remarks but if you would, God bless and good luck with your personal problems.
