The 28-year old former actress was involved in a small fender-bender on Monday when two pursuing paparazzi got way too close. “Ms. Richie was driving with a passenger around 2 p.m. when she was struck by a vehicle behind her,” Lt. Tony Lee of the Beverly Hills Police told People. “She complained of pain and her car sustained modest damage, but no paramedics were called.”
Nicole then told officers she would seek her own medical care, but it’s not known if that happened or what form it took.
The photographers, however, are not faring so well – The driver was arrested and booked for being unlicensed, then promptly transported to the local PD. “He’s being brought into the station. This will likely be a misdemeanor traffic violation, and the vehicle will be towed.” said Lt. Lee.
Nicole’s two children, whom she had with Joel Madden (seen here), 20-month old daughter, Harlow, and son, Sparrow, were not in the car at the time.
