While Michael Jackson was inside of Cedars Sinai hospital in Beverly Hills Wednesday waiting for his ride, the ride was busy sideswiping a parked ambulance and then taking off.
According to KNBC, emergency medical technician Jamin Mauro and his partner were sitting idle inside of their ambulance when a black Cadillac Escalade sideswiped their vehicle, knocking their side mirror off in the process.
The driver then came to a stop, hopped out of the vehicle with an umbrella, and walked to the hospital doors to met Jackson, Mauro said.
"We were hit by the Escalade, and I was taking pictures for my company insurance," Mauro said. "About 30 seconds after, Jackson walked out of a medical building. He jumped into the Escalade and they sped off."
Mauro said a nurse confirmed that Jackson had been in the building. The Beverly Hills Police Department issued a related statement that did not contain any mention of Jackson, but noted that paparazzi had been following the Escalade at the time of the collision.
"The suspect's vehicle, a dark colored SUV, struck a parked vehicle causing moderate damage to the victim's vehicle. The suspect's vehicle was being followed by a group of paparazzi at the time of the collision," according to the statement.
Mauro said he and his partner were banged up in the crash, but more upset that the driver of the Escalade did not stop to exchange information.
"I don't know if Jackson told him to leave or not," Mauro said of the driver. "But they should have stayed."
