The Roots were involved in a crash yesterday in France when their double-decker tour bus flipped and collided with a van. Despite the severity of the accident, everyone on the bus is alive and okay (outside of a few “cuts and neck braces”). Almost immediately following the incident, ?uestlove took to his blog to let fans know of the situation. “Well…since we are sitting on the side of the road, what better way to pass the time while the ambulance comes then to…blog,” he wrote. “In reality the crash was all of about 7 seconds…but to do a 360 on the highway and end up ramped up (the van that crashed into ours was UNDER our double decker bus) in the air…is…well…a frigging miracle.” You can check out ?uestlove’s entire account of the accident here. It “will be a miracle” if the band makes it to Paris in time for their spot aboard Kanye West’s Glow in the Dark tour. “Til then just wanna let everyone know that we are happy to be alive. and not in that tv cliche way…but man…that was divine intervention. We are so grateful for this outcome,” ?uest concludes.
