The vehicle hit a guard rail, spun out, and flipped over. Miraculously no one was killed. Bassist, Dave Alexander, suffered the most serious injuries breaking his arm, dislocating his elbow, and breaking his thumb. He underwent surgery in a Kalamazoo hospital Sunday afternoon and is expected to make a full recovery.
Incredibly the 3 other band members and crew only suffered bruises and abrasions. When asked about the accident, Drummer P.J. Gasperini replied, "All bands pay their dues on the road - we just got a few more lumps than most do."
The band decided that a good way of staying in touch with the fans while dealing with this tragedy would be to introduce the Sugar Red Holiday Drive, in which participating radio stations donate money in the name of Sugar Red Drive to provide a joyous holiday season for others who have suffered through unfortunate circumstances like they have. More details on the Sugar Red Holiday Drive will be released shortly.
The band has cancelled their remaining tour dates in October and will resume once everyone has recovered. Their self-titled album, featuring radio hit, "One More Time," is in stores now.
