The Chicago Tribune reports that while in route to Cincinnati, the band’s van overturned on I-65 in Indiana Thursday afternoon, leaving six members in the hospital with head injuries and other trauma.
According to the Trib’s report, Indiana State Police Sgt. Ann Wojas confirmed:
–Mark Yoshizumi of Chicago was airlifted to Advocate Christ Hospital Medical Center in Oak Lawn with leg and internal injuries, along with major head trauma.

–Elias Einhorn, 29, of Chicago was taken to Jasper County Hospital with a head injury.
–Mary Ralph, 28, of Chicago was taken to Jasper County Hospital with head trauma and a shoulder injury.
The van blew a tire, causing it to roll several times while traveling south about 50 miles south of Chicago. The band was scheduled to play Thursday night at the Midpoint Music Festival at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center. Stay tuned for updates as more information is released on the condition of the band members.

i’m friends with mark but mostly through another friend. it’s a little late for me to call anyone but i put a message on his myspace for anyone that knows more to pass along that info. major head trauma makes me nervous. if anyone here hears anything more please post or contact me.
i just read an e-mail from makr’s girlfriend and it sounds like the surgery (he had some internal bleeding) went well and that a neurologist is coming to check out his spinal injuries and his brain but that he seems to be doing ok, just really banged up. let’s hope for the best for all of them
glad your friend’s condition is improving Ross, sounds like it was a really bad accident.
also Bloodshot records has set up a paypal account for donations to help with medical expenses and equipment replacement.
Glad to hear they were released from the hospital. Hopefully a full recovery is next.
