TMZ has confirmed a paparazzo on a motorcycle has been seriously 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 on to the road. We're told the rider was injured seriously and transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. His current condition is unknown.

UPDATE FROM THAT OTHER BLOG:

8:20 PM PT Update:

We have just learned that the person that was ran over is actually not an actual paparazzo but instead someone who takes part in chases in order to “tip off” agencies about the whereabouts of celebrities. He is therefore a “spotter”. He does not work for any agency.

7:35 PM PT Update:

We were just informed the paparazzo is alive, but in critical condition. He suffered broken legs, broken arms and a broken back, according to our source.

Story developing…

An X17 paparazzi has just ran over another paparazzi on a motorcycle while chasing Britney Spears who had just come out of The Four Seasons Hotel. Our source tells us that this ocurred as the caravan of chasers were making a right turn on Santa Monica Blvd. and Rexford Dr. in Beverly Hills. The paparazzi was hit by a silver range rover and was literally smashed under its wheels. From what we hear, the body went into seizure and then it just stopped moving. It doesn’t look like he made it, according to our source.

I will not be shedding any tears if he passes away. He is intruding on someone's privacy and if he is that stupid to go out on the road and speed just to get a few pics of Ms. Spears, oh well. it is like a few years ago when Britney's mom ran over a paparazzi person while backing her car out. Hey you are there blocking her way so suffer the consequences. Idiot.

The stalkerazzi seem to not have a life and it is devoted to following around celebrities who are real people...they seem to forget they go through the same stuff we do and have emotions and feelings and what not.

As sad as death is, and I would NEVER EVER wish it on ANYONE, I hope this taught some of them a valuable lesson and show all of the press they are taking things too far especially with Britney Spears. I mean REALLY, a week or two back I saw something about how there were huge reports on those news/taboloids about her parking in a reserved parking space and the whole press was crowding her.

Is it really worth it, with ANYONE? No. Not worth lives being taken.

I feel bad for the photog and his family, but this should be a lesson to all the other people who feel it is their right to invade all aspects of someone's life at whatever cost.

Is a picture really worth your life?

Is a picture really worth your life?
