A photographer was allegedly knocked down by Chris Martin who was driving his car.

The Coldplay lead singer enjoyed an evening in California at restaurant Giorgio Baldi with his estranged wife Gwyneth and their children on Sunday, January 25.

Eventually leaving in a jeep, Chris pulled out of the parking lot and is reported to have struck a paparazzo as he rushed to the car, attempting to take a photograph of the family.

An ambulance was called and the man was taken to hospital.

Website TMZ are claiming there's something "weird" about the accident, as a second photographer took pictures of the incident from across the street - a position that they wouldn't need to be in as they're allowed to stand outside the food joint.

Despite the evening's dramatic end, the former couple appeared to be happy to be in one another's company.

One source explained to X17Online: "It's rare to see Gwyneth and Chris like that, playing family with the kids.

"There is usually some distance between them, like they take separate cars to meet up at a restaurant.

"But here they were all together, back together like one big happy family.

"They all seemed really happy to be together.

"It was like this is the way they're supposed to be, together."
