The Ghost Inside bassist Jim Riley checked in today with another update on the band’s condition. Various members of the group suffered serious injuries in a fatal collision late last week between their bus and a semi truck. The accident claimed the lives of their bus driver and the driver of the semi. A few members of the band were said to have injuries serious enough that they were transported to the hospital via helicopter. Riley said earlier today:
“Hey all. Jim here offering a quick update. The last 48 hours have seen everyone’s condition improve. We are surrounded by lots of loved ones and the vibe today is very positive. Asking again that you keep sending good juju our way and keep the families of the two drivers that lost their lives in your thoughts.
It will be a few more days before we share any individual details. If you’ve seen any of the pictures that are floating around you know the serious nature of the situation and hope you understand the need for a little privacy and discretion.
The doctors here are phenomenal and we are in the most capable of hands. Thank you thank you thank you for the love and support. Life is swinging hard. We are swinging harder.”
Also on a positive note, the Gofundme set up to get them back on their feet and help with medical costs and the funeral costs for their driver, Gregory Hoke, has now skyrocketed to $124,058.
