The members are Offset, Takeoff and Quavo. Quavo and Offset are cousins, and Takeoff is Quavo’s nephew. Formed in 2009, the rap trio is from metro Atlanta's Gwinnett County. They've collaborated with Nicki Minaj, Drake, Cardi B and more. They've churned out more than 10 mixtapes and three studio albums.

TMZ, which reported the news, has a photo of the mangled green Dodge Challenger being towed on a flatbed.

No accident report was taken and emergency medical workers were not called to the scene. According to TMZ, he's been released from the hospital.

Offset’s fiancée, Cardi B, apparently rushed to his side following the incident.

Last week during a lengthy interview on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show, Cardi B, who is pregnant with Offset’s baby, said she and the Migos star are building a new house together in Atlanta, where they plan to raise their child.

Earlier this week, Migos announced a tour with Drake, which will play Atlanta in November.
