50 Cent has been hospitalized with potentially severe injuries to his neck and back after a car crash on the Long Island Expressway in New York City on Monday evening (June 25, 2012). According to a website affiliated with the rapper - ThisIs50.com - his SUV "almost flipped over" after a collision with a large truck.
Fans of the rapper will be especially concerned after a photo uploaded to the website shows the rapper clearly in pain, being lowered onto a stretcher. Wearing a black shirt, 50 Cent is seen grimacing whilst wearing a neck brace. Another image features the rapper in hospital - still on the stretcher - as a paramedic waits close by. The rapper is reportedly undergoing tests on his neck and back, though there were no further details about his condition. According to the website, the other driver involved in the accident is already receiving treatment at the hospital. He had reportedly told police that his load shifted, which subsequently caused him to lose control of the vehicle on the highway.
The accident somewhat overshadowed 50 Cent unveiling his new video for 'Complicated', just hours before the crash. He gave fans a link to the clip on Twitter, which sees him relaxing on a couch whilst spitting lyrics and downing one of his own branded energy shots.
