The incident comes after Simon Cowell broke his back while testing an electric bicycle at his home in California in August.

Rihanna has suffered facial injuries after “flipping over” on an electric scooter, according to reports in the US.

It comes after photos emerged of the star with what appeared to be bruising on her face as she sat in a car outside a restaurant in Los Angeles on Friday.

Entertainment websites People and TMZ reported that Rihanna was involved in an accident on an electric scooter.

In a statement released by the singer’s representative revealed that she was “healing quickly”.

“Rihanna is completely fine now but flipped over on an electric scooter last week and bruised her forehead and face,” the star’s representative was quoted as saying.

“Luckily there were no major injuries and she is healing quickly.”

TMZ said it had been told the injuries looked worse than they were.
