Rich the Kid Sustains Nasty Hand Injury in UTV Crash
Written by SOURCE on December 30, 2018
Rich the Kid was hospitalized this weekend, following a UTV rollover crash.
The 26-year-old rapper shared a since-deleted photo of his wound via Instagram on Saturday night, writing: “I’m just glad I’m ok. Thank god.”
Sources told TMZ that the crash occurred in a dirt lot behind a luxury auto dealership in Calabasas. Rich, who posted the action on social media, was seen riding over small hills before he started doing donuts. It was at this time that the rapper had lost control of the vehicle, causing it to flip over and land on its roof.
Shortly after emergency crews arrived on scene, Rich was transported to a hospital. He also shared footage of his hospital visit on social media; in one of the clips, Rich is heard telling the medical staff that his hand was broken.
It’s unclear how severe the rapper’s injuries are; however, sources told TMZ that the damage appeared serious. An EMT allegedly said Rich would have trouble “using his hand for the rest of his life, and that he hoped he wasn’t a guitar player … as he wouldn’t be able to play anymore.”
Potential life-long complications? Sounds serious to us.
