Rapper Diddy hurt in Beverly Hills car crash

Sean "Diddy" Combs was hurt when the car he was travelling in was hit by another vehicle in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The hip-hop and fashion mogul complained of pain but was not taken to hospital.

Lt Lincoln Hoshino of Beverly Hills police said Combs was a passenger in a Cadillac Escalade SUV on Sunset Boulevard yesterday when a Lexus saloon turned left in front of it and the vehicles collided.

Combs said he would seek his own medical attention, Lt Hoshino said. No-one from either vehicle needed hospital treatment.

A phone message left for Combs' publicist was not immediately returned and Combs made no mention of the crash on his often-updated Twitter account.

Photos posted on celebrity website TMZ showed the Escalade's bump.
