On November 20, HipHopDX reported a tour bus crash survival by The Roots [click to read]. The crash, which occurred on November 19, caused the group's tour bus to flip over while driving through Paris.
Today, ?uestlove reached out to fans via his own blog to explain what happened and give a more detailed look at his feelings about the incident.
Below is an excerpt from his latest blog with no edits. A picture of the crash can also be found below.
"In short we escaped what I can only call a tragic bus crash while on our way to open for kanye in paris. That white van basically missed an open for an exit and thought he could last minute side swipe us/race us to get off. and just wound up knocking us off this road. Kinda strange how the mind works because the inside of the bus is tinted and covered with curtains. so despite the fact we flipped over i still thought it was just a fender bender for i had no reference point of direction."
