Lead guitarist of the group, Kevin Wasserman, better known by his stage name Noodles also revealed more details about the fire. He said, "No one is sure what started the fire yet, but the SUV hit something big & heavy, possibly a lost trailer hitch, and within seconds the vehicle was in flames.
"You can see from the video that they didn’t even get off the Highway before everyone had to bail. No time to save any belongings. Scary shit!
"Our crew do all the heavy lifting so that we look & sound as good as possible when we take the stage. They’re travel & workdays are always longer & more arduous than ours, and we can’t thank them enough for all they do. To see them have to go through something like this is heartbreaking & frightening. I am so glad they are all OK!"
