Five hurt in Baroness bus crash remain in hospital
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 20 August 2012
Half of the ten people who were travelling in US metal band Baroness’s tour bus when it fell 30 feet off a viaduct near Bath last week remain in hospital, an update on the band’s website last Friday said (though it’s not currently clear if any of those were discharged over the weekend).
One member of the band, lead guitarist Pete Adams, and three members of their five strong crew were released from hospital with minor injuries. Frontman John Baizley broke his left arm and leg, while drummer Allen Blickle and bassist Matt Maggioni each suffered fractured vertebrae. The driver of the bus, who was most seriously hurt in the crash, remains in a critical condition.
