San Diego-based death metallers PATHOLOGY were involved in a serious road accident Wednesday night, November 10. The group, which was in the middle of a North American tour as the support act for NILE, was driving between dates in St. Paul, Minnesota and Seattle, Washington when its van hit black ice outside Bismarck, North Dakota, causing the vehicle to roll a couple times before sliding a few hundred feet. Three members of PATHOLOGY were taken to the hospital but suffered no serious injuries aside from some bumps and bruises and the overall mental stress of the experience. Unfortunately, with no van, trailer and most of the gear damaged, PATHOLOGY has been forced to pull out of the remainder of the NILE tour.
Commented drummer Dave Astor: '[This was the] worst car wreck in my life! lucky to be alive. Everything is destroyed! Extremely traumatized. This tour is absolutely over for us. Infuckingsane!"
