AURORA, Colo. — Authorities say a dozen people were injured, including one seriously, after tour buses for two different bands were involved a chain-reaction crash on a foggy stretch of highway east of Denver.
The Colorado State Patrol says a bus carrying crew members for the performer Twin Shadow rear-ended a tractor-trailer stopped on Interstate 70 Friday, seriously injuring 41-year-old bus driver John Crawford. Eleven of his passengers suffered minor to moderate injuries.
Their bus then hit another truck and a tour bus carrying crew members of the country band Thompson Square.
Both bands were headed to Denver for shows Friday night but were not traveling together.
The crash came as a spring storm also brought rain and snow to Colorado and Wyoming, creating a range of dangerous driving conditions.
