Macklemore survives head-on crash with suspected drunk driver on Whidbey Island
LANGLEY, Wash. -- Seattle rapper Macklemore was miraculously not hurt when a suspected drunk driver crashed into his car Friday night on Whidbey Island.
According to the Washington State Patrol, the driver of a pickup truck collided head-on with Macklemore's Mercedes around 11:00 p.m. On Wednesday, the Washington State Patrol said Macklemore - real name Ben Haggerty - was driving on a suspended license.
Troopers said the driver was coming around a bend when he crossed the centerline and struck Macklemore's car.
The singer and his two passengers were able to walk away from the incident -- one of them suffered a cut to the head.
Troopers told TMZ the driver of the pickup was not wearing a seat belt. He was taken to the hospital for treatment before being transferred to jail.
Charges will be forwarded to the prosecutor's office.
