Travis Barker, drummer of Blink-182 was involved in a car accident yesterday according to TMZ.
Barkers was reportedly making a left turn when his vehicle was struck by a school bus which fortunately did not have any students on board. Barker was driving with passengers including his teenage son. The report states Barker walked away from his car which suffered enough damage that it’s air-bags were activated, but his condition is unknown at this time, though he was described as ‘dazed’.
Barker has been through a serious accident in past. In 2008 after performing with DJ AM the chartered plane his group was traveling in crashed shortly after lift off. That crash unfortunately saw 4 people lose their lives, while AM and Barker survived. Barker endured serious injuries due to the plane crash with burns to more than half his body. He shared the arduous process of his recovery which included 27 surgeries, in an interview with ABC.
Recently Barker has been in a scary battle with blood clots in his arms which have forced Blink to reschedule dates for their Las Vegas residency. Barker documented his recovery process in this video which was shared last week online.
Blink-182 are currently scheduled to headline Riot Fest in Douglas Park in September.
