Members 1001gear Posted January 14, 2017 Members Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'm surprised nobody posted this. Be that as it may, here's the news report. Maybe Dendy can add details? http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/13/entertainment/tower-of-power-band-hit-by-train-trnd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted January 14, 2017 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2017 Apparently they got banged up but are expected to recover. http://www.towerofpower.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted January 16, 2017 Members Share Posted January 16, 2017 I had delayed posting because there was confusion surrounding the event. Some reports indicated the railway (Amtrak) accused them of "trespassing". Some reports said they were in a car and others struck as pedestrians. The truth is they were on foot and walking from the hotel to the gig. As they crossed the track, something inhibited their vision (a car crossing the tracks) and they failed to see the train. It struck them as pedestrians. David G was injured the least but still injured pretty badly. He has swelling to the head and face. The bass player suffered greater injuries that include internal bleeding. They both have a road to recovery ahead. Your thoughts and prayers would certainly be appreciated.
