will.i.am in neck brace after car crash
will.i.am is wearing a neck brace following his dramatic car crash on Wednesday (29Aug12).
The Black Eyed Peas rapper was driving along a street in Los Angeles with British singer Cheryl Cole in the early hours of the morning when his vehicle smashed into the side of a parked car.
A spokesman for the star initially tried to play down the incident
by describing it as a "minor fender bender" and insisting "no one
got hurt", but photographs have since emerged showing the pair
bloodied and stunned in the aftermath of the crash.
In the images, will.i.am can be seen with blood streaming down his
face after the vehicle's airbag deployed to prevent his head from
striking the steering wheel.
Cole is also shown looking shocked as blood pours out of her nose
and over her lips, while the rapper tenderly reaches across to
comfort his pal.
Police were called to the scene, and will.i.am was then taken to
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment. He later emerged wearing
a neck brace. Cole was reportedly treated for her injuries at the
scene and was not taken to hospital.
The Girls Aloud star is in L.A. rehearsing for a solo tour and
working on new tracks in a studio with the I Gotta Feeling
hitmaker.
