Rihanna was left with a nasty black eye and a severely bruised face as she became the latest big star to be involved in an e-scooter incident. She was "smashed in the forehead" as the vehicle flipped over and hit her directly in the head. The singer's reps have confirmed RiRi is nursing her injuries after the worrying accident. It came after YouTube sensation Emily Hartridge died when she lost control due to an under-inflated tyre.

A coroner last week concluded the presenter, 35, died instantly from multiple traumatic injuries when she was thrown under a lorry in Battersea, London, last July. Last month, Simon Cowell required back surgery after falling off an e-bike at his mansion. Nine-time Grammy winner Rihanna is recovering after her nasty accident.
