The artist, born Darryl Kevin Richardson, and a friend were found outside of the car on the ground when authorities arrived at the scene, according to TMZ. Both were incoherent and could not explain the events leading up to the wreck.

While the “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star believes his pal fell asleep at the wheel before the vehicle crashed into a pole, police say Scrappy was actually the driver.

The 34-year-old, who suffered a broken foot, is currently recovering at a hospital, and he later took to Instagram to update his followers on his progress.

“Man God is great I can’t even show u the car o, thank God for given me a fam and people that rides with me,” he wrote as the caption of a picture of him in the hospital. “God saved our lives.”

He said his mother, known as Momma Dee, and his wife Bambi are at his bedside.

Scappy has released five studio albums since 2006. In 2012, he was cast as a member of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.” He and wife are expecting their first child together.
