Candy guitarist Drew Stark was struck by a car while walking down the sidewalk in Los Feliz, CA this past Wednesday, January 26th. He sustained compound fractures in both legs along with several other serious injuries that left him requiring multiple surgical procedures to help get him back on his feet. A crowdfunding campaign to help with his mounting medical bills was launched over at GoFundMe.
The following was said of the campaign:
“As some of you know, Drew and a friend were seriously injured Wednesday, January 26th in Los Feliz Ca. when struck by a vehicle while walking down the sidewalk of Hollywood Blvd in front of the Covell Restaurant. He sustained compound fractures in both legs among other serious injuries. Drew will be in the hospital for at least the next week for surgeries to repair the damage.
