Conrad Hilton hurt in car crash near Palm Springs

Conrad Hilton was injured in a car crash near Palm Springs, California, on August 23, TMZ reported.

California Highway Patrol officers told The Desert Sun that the 19-year-old younger brother of socialites Paris and Nicky Hilton was driving his BMW on Interstate 10 just before 12:30 p.m. when he attempted to change lanes and clipped the back of a Volkswagen Beetle. From there, Conrad Hilton apparently hit a tractor trailer before “coming to a stop on the side of the road”, the paper reports.

According to The Desert Sun, investigators have determined that drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the accident. Officer Stephanie Hamilton said, however, that Conrad Hilton had been speeding, and that “several motorists called him in for reckless driving”.
