US rap artist 50 Cent has been hospitalised after his car crashed into a truck.
The Candy Shop hitmaker was taken to a Queens hospital with possible injuries to his neck and back after a collision between his SUV - which was being driven by someone else - and a truck in the early hours of this morning on the Long Island Expressway in New York City.
According to Thisis50.com, the incident occurred when a red truck rear-ended his bullet proof vehicle and it "almost flipped over".
50 Cent - whose real name is Curtis Jackson - and was put on a stretcher and taken to the nearby medical facility, along with his driver.
But a source close to the rapper has revealed both the 36-year-old star and his driver are "fine".
The source told XXLMag.com: "He's fine," and when asked about the driver added: "He's good."
It is not the first time 50 Cent has been at Queens this year after he was previously hospitalised due to a bad bout of food poisoning.
50 Cent said at the time: "Eminem called and said, 'Man you been shot nine times, don't f**k around and die over a burger.'
"He called and started making me laugh, and I wasn't feeling good. So I just started to laugh, and he cheered me up when I was feeling uncomfortable."
