Troubling reports out of England today with the BBC reporting that Baroness’ bus crashed and fell thirty feet off a viaduct near Bath.
Reports suggest that the band was on its way to Southampton following a gig in Bristol when their bus crashed, and while the circumstances surrounding the accident aren’t yet known, low visibility caused by heavy rain is thought to be the cause.
Nine passengers were hurt in the crash, including two who were trapped and had to be rescued by the fire service. Relapse Records issued a statement that says the band members are currently receiving medical treatment and that all remaining dates on their European tour have been cancelled. A full investigation is expected.
