Thompson Square band members involved in Twin Shadow bus crash
Members of country duo Thompson Square's band and road crew were left unharmed in a tour bus accident in Colorado on Friday (17Apr15), which left two Twin Shadow rockers in hospital.
The group's vehicle hit a tractor-trailer on Interstate 70 in Aurora, leaving 12 people injured. Driver John Crawford and drummer Andy Bauer remain hospitalized, in serious condition, while frontman George Lewis, Jr. will be undergoing reconstructive hand surgery this week (beg20Apr15).
The accident also involved a Thompson Square tour bus that was
transporting members of their band and road crew.
Married duo Shawna and Keifer Thompson were not on the bus at the
time of the crash, and a statement on the band's website clarifies
that all the crew members walked away without injuries, and the
damage to the bus was minimal.
While the investigation is ongoing, Colorado State Patrol Trooper
Josh Lewis tells local news station KUSA that dense fog, and most
likely rain and snow played a factor in the accident.
