According to the singer, he was driving on the highway and, for some unclear reasons, lost his consciousness, started swerving in traffic, and ultimately crashed into a concrete median. Meanwhile, two motorists intervened in the situation the moment they noticed what was going on by helping to stop traffic and following closely behind his car with their emergency blinkers.<\/p>\n

They drove behind him until the car crashed into the middle of a concrete Island. Then, they pulled him out of the passenger’s side of the crashed car and rushed him to the hospital.
