Diddy involved in a serious accident in Beverly Hills

Rapper Diddy SUV was involved in a serious accident in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. He was left lying injured on the ground after the crash.

Real name Sean Combs slumped on the floor as he recovered after his chauffeur-driven Cadillac Escalade collided with a Lexus RX vehicle.

Diddy's luxury vehicle was left crushed and undriveable and had to be towed away after the smash at the Beverly Hill in Los Angeles. The windscreen was smashed and the front of the car caved in. The airbags were activated and parts of the vehicle littered the ground.

He was so shaken by the crash that he was seen lying down on the grass beside his vehicle.

Accompanying him was record label boss Andre Hurrell, who helped him to his feet. A second passenger was also seen sprawled on the lawn beside the music mogul.

Despite complaining of unspecified pain, Diddy refused to go in an ambulance and told authorities he would seek his own attention.
