Rock/metal juggernauts Baroness were involved in a very serious bus accident this morning in the UK. Updates have been added.
The fast rising rock/metal band Baroness was involved in a very serious bus accident at around 11:30am local time near Bath, England. At this time, details are hazy at best, but it appears that the driver lost control of the careening vehicle and rolled over a viaduct 30 feet below the level of the road.
There were 9 people on board at the time of the accident and all sustained injury. According to early reports, some of these injuries will be life altering. At this time, the condition of the actual band members is unknown but our thoughts go out to anyone involved in this event.
More details will be posted upon discovery.
UPDATE:
The band members of Baroness and their crew are recovering from injuries sustained after their tour bus crashed outside of Bath, England early on Wednesday morning.
John Baizley has broken his left arm and left leg. Allen Blickle and Matt Maggioni each suffered fractured vertebrae. All three remain in the hospital as of this writing. Pete Adams has been treated and released from the hospital.
Three of the five crew members who were on the bus have also been treated and released. One member is still undergoing testing. The driver of the bus remains in critical condition.
