Rapper 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, was hospitalized following a New York truck accident, according to sources. 50 Cent was rear-ended by a Mack truck on the Long Island Expressway in Queens on June 25. According to his web site, 50 Cent was taken away on a stretcher after his bullet-proof SUV nearly flipped over following the collision.
“50 Cent was taken to New York Hospital Queens, where he was treated for minor neck and back injuries,” a representative told TMZ. 50 Cent was riding as a passenger–the driver was also treated for injuries. Both have been released and are expected to make a full recovery. The driver of the Mack truck told police that his weight load shifted, which caused him to lose control and rear-end the SUV. It was not disclosed whether the truck driver received any citations.
