AceShowbiz - Macklemore was recently involved in a scary head-on collision with an alleged drunk driver. The Grammy-winning rapper, fortunately, managed to escape injury during the accident that happened on Friday night, July 28 in Langley, Washington.
According to Washington State Patrol, the 34-year-old musician was driving in the remote island town 90 minutes of Seattle at around 10:45 P.M. when the other driver, in a 1986 Chevrolet pickup, crossed the center traffic line and slammed into the front of Macklemore's 2016 S-Class Mercedes-Benz.
The pickup driver was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident and smashed his head into the windshield, leaving him unconscious and bleeding.
