There’s something a bit fishy in this story, truth be told… Apparently Chris Martin hit a photographer with his Jeep, or so the pap claims, despite the fact that he was was nearly jumping in front of the damn car. There’s also the fact that another photog just so happened to catch the incident on film… from across the street (so clearly he wasn’t there to get pics of Chris).
From TMZ:
Chris and Gwyneth Paltrow went to E Baldi Restaurant with their 2 kids and all was fine, but on the way out a photog runs up to take their photo and says he was struck by their jeep. An ambulance was called and the pap was taken to the hospital.
Here’s the weird thing. The photog who took pics of the accident was standing across the street. It’s unclear why a cameraman would be so far away, because there was a clear shot of the family from the restaurant side … right on the sidewalk. In fact, 3 other photogs were perched right there.
We’ve never seen a photog take pics from across that street … so, as we said, it’s weird he’s the one who got shots of the accident.
And as the injured photog is taken away on a stretcher, he’s looking directly into the camera.
Gotta love a scammer. Not getting much in payment from your shitty shots you sell to US Weekly? Jump in front of a celeb’s car and try to sue for it! That’ll totally work.
