SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

According to the Associated Press, Twista was hurt in a van crash that killed a member of his security staff.

Twista was treated and released from Saint Vincent Health Center in Erie after the van in which he was riding crashed on Interstate 90 near Girard just after 4 a.m. Monday, police said.

Arthur Dixon of Chicago, died after he was taken to Hamot Medical Center, authorities said. Five other men in the van were hurt, none seriously, police and hospital officials said.

The van was headed from Syracuse, N.Y. to Chicago when the crash occurred, said Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook.

No charges have been filed against the driver, whom police identified as Otis Bankhead of Chicago. Police are investigating how the van veered off the road and into the median, where it rolled over.
