Backstreet Boys run over fan

The Backstreet Boys' comeback tour was marred on Monday after they ran over a fan in their tourbus.

The newly-reunited five-piece were attempting to exit from Dusseldorf Airport to head for their gig in Berlin, their only European date, when the incident happened.

The unlucky victim was 19-year-old Julie Wagner, who suffered a fractured leg when the bus attempted to negotiate its way through the crowd of adoring fans.

Attempting to make up for their error the best they could, band members Nick Carter and Kevin Richardson visited Wagner in hospital and made her a VIP guest at the concert.

"We are so sorry for what happened," said Carter. "We'll make up for it."
