The daughter of famed hip-hop pioneer Eric B. was hospitalized after a serious car crash in Connecticut on Sunday.
Word of the accident first emerged on social media, when the Instagram feed “The Real Sister2Sister 2.0” posted: “Erica Supreme Barrier, the daughter of music legend Eric Barrier (Eric B) is in extreme critical condition this morning after a horrific car crash in Connecticut.”
The post added that, “Barrier is suffering from severe neck and spine fractures, among her many life threatening injuries, confirmed Eric B’s long time publicist,” and that, “The family is at her bedside and asking for your prayers.”
Connecticut state police confirmed to Page Six that Erica, 28, was in a Mini Cooper Countryman on I-91 in Connecticut just before 1 a.m. on Sunday morning when it “stopped in the center lane” and an oncoming truck “was unable to stop in time and impacted the rear of [Erica’s car].”
She “sustained serious injuries,” according to the police report, “and was transported to Hartford Hospital.” The truck driver was not injured, according to police. The investigation is ongoing.
A rep for Eric B. did not get back to us.
Eric B. and Rakim are scheduled to play a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame “Induction Fest” later this year along with Questlove and others.
