The rock band Hinder was involved in a tour bus crash which left their bass player and two members of their road crew in hospital. They were traveling through the town of Cookeville, Tennessee on Wednesday on the way to a concert in Charlotte, North Carolina when their bus collided with a small truck.
Bassist Mike Rodden and a crew member suffered broken ribs in the crash, and the bus driver required surgery to treat unspecified injuries.
They posted the following on Facebook, “We just wanted to let everyone know that we were in a bus accident today outside of Cookeville, TN, (Bassist) Mike and our lighting guy Clint are in the X-ray room right now. Our bus driver, Dave, is being transferred to a hospital in Nashville. Everyone will be okay but we have a missing friend. Our driver Dave had his service dog, Cuzco, with him. He is a male Australian Shepard.”
Later they posted, “Great news!! Cuzco is safe!! Special thanks to the Putnam County Emergency Management Agency and the Cookeville Regional Medical Center for taking care of us today. Please send thoughts and prayers to our driver, Dave, as he is in surgery now. Mike and our lighting guy, Clint both have broken ribs but will be okay.”
