At the Drive-In shows canceled after members hurt in crash
At the Drive-In ’s U.S. tour was interrupted early on Saturday morning (11/11) when the group’s van flipped over in Colorado, according to a press release from the group. The crash left two band members with minor injuries, and resulted in the cancellation of the group’s Saturday and Sunday night (11/12) shows.
ATDI was travelling through Sterling, Colo., on its way to Denver for its Saturday night show when the group’s tour van “hit a patch of black ice," according to the press release. Drummer Tony Hajjar and vocalist Cedric Bixler were taken to a local hospital where Hajjar was treated for a minor back injury and Bixler for a foot injury that included the loss of a toenail. Doctor’s instructed Hajjar not to perform for at least 48 hours.
Also on board during the crash was guitarist Omar Rodriguez and two of the band’s crewmembers, all of whom were shaken up but not injured, according to the release. The van was totaled in the accident.
As a result of the accident, ATDI canceled its Saturday night (11/11) show in Denver and its Sunday night (11/12) show in Salt Lake City, both of which it hopes to make up “as soon as possible.” The group plans to resume its tour on Tuesday night (11/14) in Seattle. The performance is scheduled to air as a live webcast, according to the group’s official website.
At the Drive-In is touring in support of “Relationship of Command” (Grand Royal), which was released on Sept. 12. The group has U.S. dates scheduled through Nov. 20, followed by seven European dates beginning on Dec. 1 in France. The group then has Japanese dates set for Jan. 14, 15 and 17.
