" SEPULVEDA PASS (CBSLA ) - A paparazzo was fatally struck by a car after taking photos of Justin Bieber’s white Ferrari during a traffic stop Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Shortly before 6 p.m., California Highway Patrol officers had pulled over the Ferrari for allegedly speeding on the 405 Freeway near the Getty Center.

The 18-year-old Canadian singer was not in the vehicle during the traffic stop, LAPD Commander Andrew Smith reported. Officers say a friend of Bieber’s was driving the vehicle.

The paparazzo reportedly parked his SUV on Sepulveda Boulevard and ran across the street to get a better view of the Ferrari as it sat parked on the freeway.

California Highway Patrol officers asked him multiple times to move away because the situation was unsafe.

The victim eventually turned to go back to his car but was hit by an oncoming SUV before he could reach his vehicle. According to the LAPD, the photographer didn’t look before crossing the street.

Paramedics tried to resuscitate the photographer at the scene. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital "
