The photographer who was hit by Justin Bieber's car earlier this week has given an update on his recovery from his hospital bed. While being wheeled to have an X-Ray on his leg, Maurice Lamont spoke about the incident, and denied that it was the singer's fault, saying: "Accidents happen." Maurice said: "Hour before my birthday hits, I get ran over by Justin Bieber. Isn't that something? He's a good kid though. I think the truck was a little bit too big for him, though. 'Cause there is no way he could see over the front." He continued: "He got out, he was compassionate, he was a good kid. Accidents happen."

He thanks his fans for the incredible experience of the Purpose World Tour over the last 18 months. He is grateful and honoured to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across six continents during this run.
