EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Victim’s Injuries From Paris Hilton & Cy Waits Hit And Run
“It was more scary than anything because all I could see was this car still going and rolling on top of me,” hit-and-run victim and part-time paparazzi Carol told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
“And that’s what I thought about when I got home from the doctor; I’m lying in bed and all I can think about is that car coming at me!”

Although Carol says the incident was scary and may have put a permanent halt to her paparazzi career, she’s empathetic to Hilton and Waits saying she takes half the blame for the incident.
“I think we’re both at fault and I feel bad. It was just a freak accident,” she says.

“I’m not out to harm her [Paris] or him [Cy] and I’m sure they weren’t out to harm me. But he does need to realize that you can’t hit people with your car, and I also at the same time can’t be out on the street hanging over the hood of a car taking pictures of people.”
Carol says she was released from the hospital at about 4:30 a.m. on Thursday morning and surprisingly escaped the incident with no broken bones, although she was sent home with crutches and is using a walker.

“I didn’t break anything, just some bruising. My heel and my ankle are swollen and bruised,” Carol says of the injuries sustained after Waits’ car rolled over her right foot and leg.
“I just want it all to be over and I wish it never happened.”
As previously reported by RadarOnline.com, the hit and run was captured on video which has been viewed by many – including Carol.
“When I watched it all I could think about was how bad my mom would feel seeing my face in that much pain,” she says.

“This whole incident might just make me stop it forever,” Carol said of her part-time paparazzi gig.
“I just do it on the side…but maybe not anymore. Not after last night.”

Carols tells RadarOnline.com she hasn’t been contacted by Hilton or Waits regarding last night’s incident, but she is planning to reach out to Hilton’s camp at some point today.
Police were called to the scene Wednesday night after the hit and run was reported and police were later seen questioning Waits and giving him a field sobriety test.

Authorities tell RadarOnline.com that Waits was "detained” but later released. He was given a citation and will appear in court at a later date.
“They’re waiting for the radiologist to take a second look at the x-rays and then they’ll send me back in for a check-up,” Carol says. “I just need to keep my foot up and let it heal.”

Newsflash...if people don't want to get hit by cars, then move away from the car when it's trying to go!! So, she takes half blame...take all the blame, you shouldn't have been blocking their car.

The pap clearly fell down in front of the car. The other paps told the driver to go. It is no way the driver could see the pap lying down on the street. Did the pap do this so she could sue and have Paris pay a settlement.?

I am no Paris fan..but I have no sympathy for these paps. They surround the car and you can see they were pulling away slowly or at least trying. Paris wasn't even driving but shows like Nancy Grace were dogging her.She is an easy target.

What about using a zoom lense and staying out of the road?

She had no business being in the middle of the road in the first place. If she saw the car why did she not get out of the way?
It seems she is looking for some extra cash.

The video shows that the car was moving very slowly,the pap had plenty of time to get out of the road.
With flashlights, and paps yelling,the driver had no way of knowing what was going on.

Did you see that JACKAL paris smile and pose 4 the camera as the boyfriend/JERK hit the pap!! If u get censored, ya' gotta "clean" it up a bit, IF it continues, go over to TMZ! TMZ is wonderful & they don't censor!!

As others have noted, this is very similar to what happened to Benji Madden. A pap got too close, then claimed he ran over his foot and left the "accident".
Such scenes seem staged to get money out of celebs.

if you stand in front of a 2500 lb moving object, you'll get hit & that's on you if you get hurt. it's your fault. if u put flashbulbs in my face & chased me, id run ur a$$ over too. stfu dumba$$. paps are the poster child for darwin's theory.

Let's put poster Poppy in her car and then surround the car with photogs with flashes. About 50 of them or so and they are all hanging on the car with the cameras in front of the windshield obstructing the view. That's how ridiculous her post is.
