Diddy Injured in Beverly Hills Car Crash

Sean 'Diddy' Combs at Macy's Passport Presents: Glamorama: 30th Anniversary in Los Angeles.

Sean "Diddy" Combs was shaken up in a car crash in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel yesterday, though hip-hop mogul was not taken to the hospital, The Associated Press reports.

According to Beverly Hills police Lt. Lincoln Hoshino, Combs was a passenger in a Cadillac Escalade riding down Sunset Boulevard when a Lexus sedan turned left in front of the vehicle, causing the collision. 

While Hoshino says Combs was complaining of pain, he decided to seek his own medical treatment rather than be taken to a hospital. Pictures from TMZ show the totaled front of the car and Combs lying on the grass following the crash. 

There's been no word from Combs or his camp about the incident or the extent to which he was injured.
