The Roots' bus tipped over in Belgium, but everybody is ok. Bassist Owen Biddle released a statement saying they are, "all in surprisingly good shape and very thankful to be alive," after the bus lost control with the seven-piece band and five crew members mostly asleep. He goes on to describe the crash recalling, "I was startled awake, bracing against the roof of my bunk when the bus began violently rocking and eventually slammed down on it's left side, on top of a van, which our driver said had veered into us, sending both vehicles, wedged together, off the road and into trees beyond the right margin. Not knowing which way was up at first, I made my way out through the window of the upstairs back lounge, which was facing the ground and had been smashed by rescue workers. The response was immediate. We were taken to a nearby hotel as a sort of staging area. From there, I was one of two who opted to go to the hospital for X-rays, as I was having trouble lifting my right arm. Only minor stuff," he says. But the crash didn't stop the show. The Roots are back on the road headed to Paris to open for Kanye.
