The Ataris frontman Kris Roe was hospitalised last week after being involved a car accident."[Kris'] car was totaled, front end completely smashed, roof rip opened," reads an official statement from the band. "The person in front of him slammed on their brakes unexpectedly, he swerved out of the way to avoid hitting them, causing him to slam into a massive LED construction warning sign. The sign crashed through his front window, then flew over his car ripping off a huge section of the roof. Fortunately he was wearing his seat belt and is expected to make a full recovery."
