Rapper-singer Macklemore is doing fine after a scary head-on collision with a drunk driver.

According to Washington State Patrol the "Same Love" rapper, 34, was driving in Langley, Washington, an island two hours north of his hometown of Seattle, around 10:45 pm when a 24-year-old in a 1986 Chevrolet pickup crossed the center traffic line and slammed into the front of Macklemore's 2016 S-Class Mercedes-Benz.

The driver of the pickup truck was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident, and the force of the crash caused his head to strike the windshield, reported People magazine.

He was reportedly bleeding and unconscious at the scene, and after being revived he told officers that he had been drinking alcohol "awhile back" at "5 o'clock." He received treatment at a local hospital and will be charged with a DUI.
