Epica - Tourbus Crash
According to a posting on the Epica website, in the early of February 12th Epica's tourbus crashed on Canadian Highway way 1 while driving in the Rocky Mountains when a car lost control and went spinning for the bus. The busdriver Dave Mabry managed to avoid a head-on collision by running the bus against the rail-guard. Although the car was totaled and the bus suffered severe damage and some band & crew members got thrown out of their bunks no one got hurt. After a few hours delay and some on the the spot repairs the bus was able to continue the journey to Victoria Canada.

So glad that no one got hurt and that they were able to continue on to Victoria. I think I would have cried if I didn't get to see them after flying 15 hours to do just that. Pretty sure the Blackguard guys were tailing them and also dodged the same car.

HOLY crap, it's so lucky that no one got hurt, or worse!  They are a lucky bunch. Thank goodness for that bus driver.
