Converge Involved in Van Accident

by | Oct 24, 2012

Converge were involved in a van accident last night while driving through Oregon.

“After driving all day/evening, we hit a patch of black ice in the mountains of Oregon,” the band stated. “We were forced to turn into a highway divider at 40mph in order to avoid sliding under a slew of 18 wheelers. The van spun 180 degrees after impact, and we were left facing the wrong direction on the highway. We spent a few hours prying our bumper off our front wheels. Thankfully, we are rolling again. Bands, be safe put there. Never take anything for granted.”

The band is schedule to play in Seattle tonight at El Corazon.
