Nicole Richie's lucky she didn't have any babies on board.

The celebutante is nursing what appear to be minor injuries after her car was dinged by a pursuing paparazzo in Beverly Hills

"She was rear-ended," BHPD Lt. Tony Lee tells E! News, adding that the accident occurred around 2 p.m. "There was a complaint of pain injury. She told officers at the scene that she’s going to seek her own medical treatment."

Richie, 27, who just gave birth last month, apparently left baby Sparrow and her big sis Harlow back at home base. She was traveling only with an unidentified adult passenger, says Lee.

No ambulances were called and the damage to the vehicles was described as minimal.

The shutterbug behind the bust-up was cited for being an unlicensed driver and his vehicle was impounded.
