A vehicle reportedly plowed through an Austin, Texas crowd outside of a South By Southwest (SXSW) Tyler, The Creator concert early today (March 13), leaving two dead and 23 others injured, according to the Los Angeles Times. Five of the 23 people who were transported to the hospital are reportedly critically injured.
The motorist, in a grey sedan with a cracked windshield, was fleeing from police who were trying to stop the car on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the Los Angeles Times. The car reportedly plowed through a temporary SXSW barricade and went the wrong way on a crowded one-way street. Many concert goers were waiting outside of the venue where Tyler, The Creator was scheduled to perform.
The driver stopped his vehicle after multiple collisions and tried to flee the scene on foot. A police officer reportedly apprehended the suspect and used a taser to subdue the man, Reuters reports. The suspect is set to face potential capital murder and aggravated assault, Reuters says.
Tyler, The Creator spoke about the incident on Twitter. “Show Isnt Happening, Something Sad Happened. I’m Bummed,” the rapper said. A series of the Odd Future emcee’s posts is below.

drinking and driving is fucked up. they need to make the sentences for that way harder because people never seem to learn and a lot of times do it again and again until they kill someone.
we need less laws not more you fucking simpleton
aggree big time. putting more laws just means more blacks in jail for BS
this nigga deserves to be in jail he killed 2 people and injured 23 more, he should have been in jail already for have 6 kids at 21 and not being able to support any of them cause hes a wannabe bum rapper
Aint gon joke on this getting left dead or paralyzed waiting in a line for a show is fucked up
maybe you should make a joke about some cripples if it helps get the stick out your ass. maybe then you will walk again.
LMFFAAAO^^^^
Tyler needs to at least send his condolences for people who died to see his wack ass show
hes not wack you fuckface and he had nothing to do with the moron drunk driver
^ Yes, hes wack u 14 year old honkie
Agreed. He seemed more worried about the show than the fans that were there to possibly there to see him “perform”.
yeah he raps about drunk driving but he aint got nothing to do with this guy. shut the fuck up
that sucks
Only weirdo’s listen to his music anyways.
kill yourself, no one deserves to die like that no matter who they listen to
nah im pretty sure all tyler fans deserve to die
tyler fans are faggots
This headline is very misleading, makes it seem like Tyler was involved with the drunk driver.
Drunk Driver Kills 2 @ SXSW is sensational enough, click-bait whoring is short sighted.
uh not really.. saying something happened outside of his concert (which it did) is not saying he had anything to do with it.
putting up his pictures and tweets is unnecessary and creates the illusion that he was involved.. especially considering the drama that tyler has created (no pun) at many other shows
uh are you his publicist, why do you give a fuck?
OP right tho, reading only the headline gives the impression that niggas was wilding to Tyler’s music and ended up killing each other
Tyler has no compassion for people. just like most of the rappers out
You’re a pretentious fuck
The driver was just tired of Kendrick rapping.
trust me it was drake
that shit was dead wrong, you dont make jokes about people dying no matter how you feel about kendrick’s rap QUOTEMAN you fucking bitch
Hmmm who’s a dead mother fucker I can make fun of right now to show you? hmmm… well those mother fuckers in the missing malaysian plane are all probably some dead bloated mother fuckers feeding fish right now. how’s that sound? shut the fuck up you self-righteous asshat. you’re posting on a tyler article.
“that shit was dead wrong” LMFAO who is this nigga?
lmao at this moralist nikka tryna be cute
and weed is what’s illegal….. huh
weed causes heart attacks
weed causes aids
Man, shit always happens at Tyler’s shows. People dying and riots, the fuck is wrong?
cuz tyler is sinful and against islam…so… satan basically has free reign
^^ lol islam? smh fuck outta white suburban child
there is no such thing as sin
not going to lie. i drink and drive nearly every weekend on the highway. i usually have a 3 beer buzz. if i can handle it i can handle it. not every body can. but most people are too thick headed to know their limit.
fuck you…driving after drinking is dumb. go crash into a pole
LOL @ 3 Beers giving your lightweight ass a “Buzz”
You should be arrested and thrown in the drunk tank.
What’s the difference. Three beers, several pain pills, weed, prescribed drugs, if you kill somebody behind the whell under these it should be no difference. Hell some motherfuckers can’t drive any damn way and shouldn’t be allowed behind a wheel if they have nothing in their system.
