TEXAS IN JULY and AN EARLY ENDING Involved in Major Accident

On Friday July 10th, the members of TEXAS IN JULY and AN EARLY ENDING were involved in a major accident while traveling to perform in Springfield, MO on a tour stop. The van containing both bands and their tour manager was struck when a driver crossed the center line with her vehicle, after allegedly suffering a fatal heart attack, thus initiating the accident.

All the passengers suffered differing levels of injury, some minor but manageable, while others were airlifted to a hospital 55 miles away. Miraculously, the only fatality in the accident was the driver of the vehicle that initiated the accident. However, three members of AN EARLY ENDING and the tour manager for both bands remain hospitalized.
