CARLSBAD -- Papar***i chasing Britney Spears' tour bus created a hazard on a North County freeway briefly Tuesday, prompting a California Highway Patrol officer to pull the bus over, a sergeant said.
Some 30 to 35 papar***i also stopped when the bus pulled over shortly before 2:40 p.m. on southbound Interstate 5, CHP Sgt. Kirk Van Orsdel said. The photographers crowded around to take pictures, and were so distracting that Officer Eric Flynn had to step inside the bus to talk to the driver.
The officer was told the photographers were driving all around the bus on the freeway trying to get pictures of Spears through tinted windows.
The incident began after the Highway Patrol got several calls from motorists reporting that vehicles were driving recklessly around a custom bus, and Flynn went to check on the report, Van Orsdel said.
Van Orsdel said no citation was issued for the registration issue, and CHP officers gave the tour bus a head start on the papar***i and escorted them to the southern limits of North County to discourage further unsafe driving.
