Macklemore walked away from a head-on car crash this past weekend in Washington.
According to TMZ, Macklemore is lucky to be alive right now after his Mercedes was struck head-on by a drunk driver in a pickup truck Friday night in Washington.
The accident apparently took place around 11 PM in Langley, Washington, a remote island town 90 minutes north of Seattle. According to the police, the pickup driver was rounding a bend when he crossed into oncoming traffic and hit Macklemore’s Benz.
Police say the pickup truck driver wasn’t wearing a seat belt and smashed his head into the windshield, leaving him unconscious and bleeding. According to the report, the guy told officers on scene he had a drink “awhile back.” When asked how much, cops said he replied …”5 o’clock.” The driver was eventually taken to a hospital for treatment, where Washington State Police say he’ll be charged with a DUI.
Thankfully no one was serious hurt though. Macklemore had two passengers in his car, one who was treated for minor cuts & the other (including Macklemore) were able to walk away emotionally shaken.
