Bill Cunningham Hit By SUV, Thankfully Escapes Injury

Bill Takes A Tumble!

Legendary New York street style photographer Bill Cunningham was reportedly hit by a car yesterday. Oy vey!

Fashionista reports that the Times photog was shooting outside the Reed Krakoff show during Fashion Week on Wednesday when he was hit by an SUV, presumably while riding his famous bicycle.

Luckily, Bill, who is in his EARLY 80's, managed to escape injury and keep shooting. In case you had any doubts, we now have evidence that he's indestructible.

Cunningham has of course been busy at New York Fashion Week, capturing the glitterati for his famous spreads in the New York Times, which he's been shooting for a whopping 30+ years.

We're obviously huge Bill Cunningham fans (we're in good company), and we're so glad Bill is okay.
