Around 3:45 a.m. on Sunday, as the band was coming home after three shows in California, a wrong way driver in a pick-up truck hit the tour bus head on, in between Thunderbird Road and West Bell road on Loop 101.

The driver was identified as Felix Perez, 27, who later died at the hospital. DPS officials say impairment did play a factor.

The band tells ABC15 they were ten minutes from their home in Peoria.

”I just remember the crescendo of the noise which is frightening, and for a nano second you feel, ‘we’re going to crash’ I blacked out, I was unconscious,” said Terry Davies.
