Westport, MA based band Another Option was recently involved in a van accident. Their account:
We were on our way to play live on the radio in Pascataway New Jersey. We needed gas really bad so I took an exit. As we rounded the exit ramp we noticed that some fucking retard decided to put a toll boothe at the end of the exit. We decided not to let PA rape our wallets with any more of there $10 tolls, so we put on our left signal and headed for the side of the toll were we could turn around and head back onto the highway.Thats when we saw that reckless driving crazy fucking trucker. He was heading toward us trying to beat the traffic and pass us on the left. We could not do anything he was moving to fast, so we all just closed our eyes. Ian snuggled up into Ryans arms and they shared what they thought might be there last kiss. Then like a small child at Micheal Jackson's birthday party we got hit. The van did not tip but it flew up on two wheels. Glass shattered everywere from the headlights. The fender jammed up into the transmission, and the radiator some how made it's way out of the van.
The band came through the incident uninjured. We can't say as much about the van.
