us that on Friday July 25th Members of Punkcore Records band Cheap Sex were involved in a major accident on their way out to the East Coast to join the Lower Class Brats on tour. Lead guitarist, Johnny O, is in the hospital with a torn aorta to his heart. Two other members suffered minor injuries.
A pickup truck filled with cinder blocks was parked unattended on the side of an exit off a freeway in Harrisburg, PA. The trailer holding the band's equipment hit the truck and spun the van out of control. The van was broad-sided by a semi truck and flipped on it's side. The windows shattered and and cinder blocks from the pickup flew into the van, one of which hit John hard in the chest. The guitarist was airlifted to the hospital where doctors performed emergency open-heart surgery, saving his life. The band is currently recovering and all dates are on hold.
