Michael Jackson's chauffeur has handed himself into police after he smashed into an ambulance and drove off.

The singer's driver, who has not been named, was accused of driving into a parked ambulance and breaking off its wing mirror as he went to meet Jackson at a Los Angeles hospital last Wednesday (22A.04.09).

Police described the incident outside Cedars-Sinai Medical Center as a hit-an-run after the car involved failed to stop.

Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Jamin Mauro, who was sitting in the ambulance at the time, said he was treated for head injuries following the accident.

And now Jackson's driver has handed himself over to officers at a Los Angeles police station on Thursday (24Apr09) night after hearing media reports about the smash.

The chauffeur claims he was "unaware" of the accident and did not realise he had clipped the side of the ambulance.

Police have yet to file charges against the man, who remains free while the investigation continues.
