Opeth bus crash due to suicide

As reported earlier, Opeth were involved in a bus crash last week resulting in the death of a motorist. While no one in Opeth or their crew were injured, frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt explained the situation...

"I just got a text from [Martin] Mendez who says that the driver of the other car (who made the U-turn) that our bus crashed into, sadly passed away from his injuries. On top of that it seems as if it was a deliberate death-stunt from his side as the police had found a suicide-letter in the car-wreck.

"This is just getting more odd and scary, I tell ya. I've no idea who he was but I have to say our condoleances goes out to his family and loved ones anyways either though we don't have a name at this point. I'm kinda lost for words here."
