Chris Guerra, a freelance photographer tasked with taking pictures of Justin Bieber, was fatality hit by a car while tailing the pop star’s white Ferrari 458 Italia. According to authorities, Bieber’s Ferrari was pulled over by California Highway Patrol on the 405 freeway for speeding and was directed to pull off the highway and onto Sepulveda Blvd.

Guerra had been following Bieber’s Ferrari all day because he thought he saw Justin smoking weed in the sports car, telling a friend that he was on the verge of breaking a very big story. Once the Ferrari was pulled over on Sepulveda Blvd. Guerra crossed the street hoping to get pictures of Bieber getting a ticket. Guerra was ordered to go back to his car on the other side of the road twice by CHP, and when he tried to cross the street and go back he was struck by an oncoming vehicle and killed.

What Guerra did not know was Bieber was not driving when the Ferrari got pulled over, it was his good friend Lil’Twist from YMCMB. Justin Bieber released a statement about the tragic accident, saying “Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders, and the photographers themselves.”

Photographer Chris Guerra, who was fatality hit by a car while taking pictures of Justin Bieber’s white 458 Italia, had called a friend shortly before he died claiming he saw the young pop star smoking weed while driving. TMZ spoke to the man Guerra called, who told them Chris called him at around 5:16 pm that Tuesday saying “Man, you won’t believe my luck. It’s pretty dead in L.A. Everybody thinks Justin and Selena are in Mexico, but they’re not.”

Guerra’s job was to exclusively snap pictures of Bieber, and he spotted Justin’s Ferrari at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills where Selena Gomez’s car was parked as well. Guerra went on to tell his friend that he saw Bieber smoking what he believed was weed from a pipe while driving his car. Chris told him that he was going to continue tailing Bieber’s car because he felt like was about to capture a big story.

20 minutes later Guerra rushed his friend off the phone once he saw the white Ferrari leaving the parking lot because he needed to follow it, not knowing that it was YMCMB rapper Lil’Twist driving and not Bieber. Justin Bieber released a statement through his rep saying, “It’s really sad that people are trying to push a story without the facts so soon after this tragic accident. Justin was not present or involved in this incident and the focus should remain on honoring the memory of the victim.” He did not speak on, or even acknowledge, the allegation of him smoking weed.
