01/03/07 - Truck Driver Apologies For Breaking Styles P.'s Leg, Suspended From Job

hoodman · 01-03-2007, 10:52 AM

The truck driver who rammed into Styles P and broke the rapper's leg during a traffic incident in upstate New York last week has apologized for the incident and said he didn't mean to cause the rapper harm.

According to police, Styles P. was driving his 2003 Mercedes-Benz on Saw Mill River Road on Saturday, Dec. 23 when he was cut off John Henson, 50.

Styles P., born David Styles, allegedly followed Henson, got out of his vehicle and threw napkins at the window.

As got back in his car, the truck smashed him.

Henson appeared in an upstate New York court yesterday (Jan. 2) and explained that the incident was an accident.

He explained that he attempted to drive away after the rapper threw the napkins, began screaming and reached into his coat.

"I didn't know if he had a gun or something else he was going to throw at me," Henson told The Journal News. "I feared for my safety, so I tried to get around him on the left side. I guess I was a foot off. I was all shook up."

Henson said that he wasn't familiar with Style's P. or rap music in general, but he did express respect for the genre.

Styles P. was treated at a local hospital and released.

Henson, a divorced father of five, spent Christmas in prison. He posted $1500 bail, but has since been suspended from his trucking job.

He also said that he is in danger of losing his house in Connecticut, because he can no longer keep up the mortgage payments.

Henson's next court date is Jan. 26.

I know it sounds weird, but I doubt he cared what he was throwing or looking like, it's road rage. Forget the napkins (hey, you grab the first thing you can get your hands on), but what was he reaching in his coat for? With that being said, I could understand why the driver said he feared for his safety. He didn't know if Styles P was packing a weapon or a brick, bat or something. You never know. Being a rapper doesn't stop you from being human. Being gangsta (as so many people seem to worry about) doesn't mean you're made of steel either. So hey, it is what it is. Hope everything works out.
