The accident occurred this Thursday when a vehicle hit the leader of the Coco Band while he was traveling with his wife, his youngest son and his driver, who suffered minor blows.
The Dominican musician told journalist José Antonio Aybar that after the crash he was taken to a medical center where he was medicated, but as the pain continued, he decided, this Friday, to visit another clinic, where they finally detected the rupture.
“At the clinic where they gave me first aid, they didn’t tell me that I had a fracture, they sent me home with a painkiller, but I couldn’t sleep from the pain. This morning I went to my orthopedist and to my surprise the plate they took showed me that I have a fractured right clavicle”, Familia revealed.
