The driver of a van
that crashed and injured Chicago rapper Twista and killed his bodyguard will not
be charged with any crimes, according to reports.
The accident happened
early morning on September 7th, on Interstate 90 close to the Pennsylvania/Ohio
border.
Twista and five
others were heading to Chicago from Syracuse, New York, after a concert in upstate
New York.
Police said the
driver, Twista’s cousin Otis Bankhead, suffered from driver fatigue.
As a result, the
luxury van flipped several times, ejecting all six passengers onto a grassy
median in the middle of the highway.
Arthur “Butch”
Dixon, son of famed Blues musician Willie Dixon suffered fatal injuries. Funeral
services for Dixon were held yesterday (Sept. 14).
Twista is currently
at home resting, recovering from cuts and bruises sustained in the accident.
