Dirty Projectors are OK!
On Tuesday June 23rd Dirty Projectors‘ tour van was part of a semi-truck accident that left the band’s van on its side (seen above). The band talks about the encounter on their myspace page:
“After stopping at a fruit stand at about 3pm today, we got back on the highway headed towards Toronto. At about 3:15, on the other side of the highway, a semi-truck moved into the left lane, not seeing the car that was there, and sent the car flying out of control over the meridian and right at us. The car hit us in the back and sent us flying onto our side, at which point we slid quite a ways down the road. Everyone was wearing a seatbelt except for Dave and Brian, but they and all of the rest of us luckily came out fine! the other car was also remarkably ok!
The whole thing was quite surreal; there were hugs and tears when we climbed out of the van. We all feel very fortunate right now to be walking around. Sorry about the canceled shows in Toronto and Montreal! We were really looking forward to coming up there again, but we will make it up to you as soon as possible!”
Surreal indeed. I’m glad everyone is ok. Stay safe out there and wear your seat-belts!
that guys a cock
