A grieved paparazzo is suing Britney Spears for rolling over his foot with her Mercedes convertible in 2007.

The accident which apparently happened two hours after Spears learned she had lost custody of her children was caught on video by US site TMZ.

The incident occurred in Beverly Hills when Britney was pulling out of a car park, reports The Sun.

As she tried to navigate her way out of the parking lot, Britney”s car went over Rick Mendoza”s foot.

In the lawsuit, Mendoza said Britney”s people: “should have known…Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner.”
