Rapper Roscoe, younger brother of Kurupt, was involved in a near-fatal car accident on January 2nd, after a drunk driver collided head-on with his vehicle.
Apparently Roscoe was driving with three other passengers when struck by a 19-year-old female that caused their vehicle to flip twice, leaving the rapper's vehicle sandwiched in between two cars in traffic.
According to Kurupt, "Roscoe's car was crushed like a soda can."
When paramedics arrived on the scene they were unable to revive Roscoe-who received wounds to the collarbone and head-and he was pronounced dead and toe tagged.
Miraculously, fifteen minutes later the young rapper began breathing again and was placed in critical condition.
Roscoe has since been upgraded to stable condition and is recovering at home with family. Six others were also injured in the wreck.
Prior to the accident, Roscoe was hard at work on the mixtape "Cali Untouchable Radio Pt. 5: YA" featuring DJ Strong and DJ Warrior of the Cali Untouchable DJ's.
YA stands for Youth Authority, a group that features Roscoe and Kurupt, as well as Young Tone, Bigg Tri aka Lil' Kurupt, Young Bizzle, Y.G., Lil' Tri, Slow, Phlert, Baby Phlert, T.K. aka Tiny Kurupt, Young Mel aka Baby Tri, Nuc aka Tiny Tri, and Kurupt.
The mixtape will be accompanied by an exclusive DVD of unseen footage of Roscoe, Kurupt and the YA.
