The Afterparty Involved In Van Accident

Band involved in accident en route to show in Staten Island, NY.

After their Boston show with Allstar Weekend, The Afterparty was involved in a van accident. Travelling through Roxbury, CT whilst en route to Staten Island, NY, the band’s van veered off the road and over a guard rail. Even though the van was destroyed, nobody was injured.

Guitarist Andy Bell said, “We were pulling an all night drive after our show in Boston to Staten Island, NY. I was driving at the time, and already really low on sleep. We were only five miles away from where we were staying, and I was starting to get really drowsy, but since we were so close I wanted to just finish the drive. I fell asleep for a split second as we came up to a curve, and we ran off the road over a guard rail.  We still made it to the show in Staten Island last night. We had to cram into three different cars and literally walked on stage 20 minutes after arriving at the venue, but we made it happen.’

“Wrecking the van was one of the scariest moments of my entire life and I am so thankful no one got hurt. We seriously appreciate all of the love our fans are giving us, and we are going to do everything in our power to make it all of the remaining shows on the All The Way Tour," says Bell.

The Afterparty have now picked up a new van, and still plan to finish their tour with Allstar Weekend
