Play (of Kid 'N') in Pileup after Police Chase

Posted Jan 3rd 2008 6:10PM by TMZ Staff

Play -- the short-haired half of the seminal '80s hip-hop duo Kid 'n' Play -- was injured in a car accident Saturday, after his SUV was hit by a car shot at by policemen. Funhouse!

According to Durham, N.C., police, Play (aka Christopher Martin) was driving in town when a car driven by Raul Riva Aldamo slammed into his vehicle. Aldamo had driven toward an officer who was investigating a robbery, and the policeman shot at Aldamo's car, which kept going down the street. Aldamo died in the crash.

Meanwhile, Play and his passenger were released from the hospital. According to the AP, Play now lives in Durham and recently filmed a documentary there.

4. Interesting, how racist people are. Here is an innocent crime victim and people who know nothing about him are already saying he is guilty of SOMETHING

No evidence, just guilty for the sake of being guilty. There is nothing different about the way he looks than many of the celebs whose photos appear in TMZ

If he was not driving a SUV, he might have been killed. A victim is a victim. The person that slammed into him is the one who should be judged.

This says alot about the era we live in and how people often make vicious judgments about others :-(

6. Evil Whites:

Your ppl have committed the most horrendous crimes ever, kidnapping, theft, rape, genocide, etc. The list goes on and on. 99.9% of black ppl are felons? Kiss my ass. I come from a long line of college educated, crime free ppl. Your ignorance is amusing. I pray God touches your hearts otherwise you are destined for hell. It shouldn't be too bad for you down there, you should feel right at home along with the rest of your evil ancestors.

Play should sue Aldamo's insurance company & next of kin to get them to pay extravagant reparations for this radical transgression.

15. Dear #26 (Rough Daddy):

Hmmm, no... I don't think I 'm being too serious... I find no humor in this kind of crap and I'm sick of it! Did you read all the BS about Brandy not getting charged in connection to her tragic collision, even after the full investigation confirmed the she was NOT at fault? C'mon, we know they tried their best to get her and it turned out that they couldn't!

But thanks for responding with some class! ;-D
