iHeartMedia Hip-Hop “Power 105.1” WWPR-FM New York afternoon host Angie Martinez will be off the air for awhile after sustaining severe back injuries in a car accident.
Martinez writes on Twitter that she suffered a fractured lumbar and shattered vertebrae in the accident. She states that she’s recovering and will be for some time.
In addition to hosting afternoons at WWPR-FM, Martinez hosts “Untold Stories of Hip-Hop” on WE-TV. She joined “Power 105.1” in June 2014 after a long run at Emmis’ “Hot 97” WQHT.
