| Fury
Van Crash |
Mammoth Press reports: The following is a
message from Jeremy Lublin of We Are The Fury
Hey everyone. Friday afternoon we were
involved in a serious accident while driving through Colorado. We crashed
our van around the Vail Passage area of Route 70 near Breckenridge. We
were driving through a heavy snowstorm on our way home from Los Angeles
when we hit ice and lost control of our vehicle and slammed into the guardrail.
Surprisingly, the guardrail held and we didn't fall down the five hundred
foot mountain drop, which is a miracle. As we were sliding toward the edge
our trailer jackknifed and snapped off. This prevented the van from flipping
and rolling over the side of the mountain, which is a damn good thing because
if we had gone over the edge I definitely would not be here describing
the accident to you. For the most part, we are all alright aside from being
a bit shook up. [see full story for more]- Click
