Early Graves singer killed in van crash(yikes-just-saw-these-dudes-last-month content)[views:17217][posts:60]______________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 1:53pm - aaron_michael ""] "Early Graves singer Makh Daniels was reportedly killed in a van accident early this morning in Oregon. According to news reports, the van driver fell asleep while traveling on Interstate 5 in Central Point, Oregon around 5:30 am. The van veered off the highway shoulder and subsequently rolled, ejecting one passenger (presumbly Daniels) and injuring two others. The vehicle apparently contained members of both Early Graves and The Funeral Pyre." holy holy shit. the shared guitarist of these bands was a real nice guy. I hope he's okay. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 2:24pm - early grave ""] Guys-I'm OK I just got up off the ground and brushed the dirt, glass and blood off my body. I just drank a redbull and I'm ready to get back on tour. Damn driver. Bout time we fire his ass. He's always falling asleep behind the wheel. Does anyone think that pic of me makes me look like the singer of Hootie? |

| _____________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:22pm - Yeti ""] holy shit. that's probably the thing that scares me the most about the idea of a tour. when you push yourself to the limit shit like this happens. it's so easy to fall asleep at the wheel, like MSD said above, i've had easier times driving shit-faced. one time on a drive from Portland ME to Buffalo NY i fell asleep in the right lane and woke up in the left breakdown lane, thank fuck for rumble strips. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:23pm - Yeti ""] my friend said one time he fell asleep driving and woke up in his neighbors frontyard with a "slow children" sign bent over his hood. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:26pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Yeti said:my friend said one time he fell asleep driving and woke up in his neighbors frontyard with "slow children" bent over his hood. fixed for lulz. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:29pm - Yeti ""] hahahahahahaha it was Bill K which makes it even funnier. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:32pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] As much as this sucks, I must make note that reports say none of the 9 passengers were wearing seat belts, which really isn't a good idea. Maybe instead of "Click it or ticket" traffic law enforcement should adopt "Click it or die." |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:40pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i half agree with that. you can die from wearing a seatbelt too by being trapped in a burning car or crushed to death instead of being ejected. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:42pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I'm guessing that's true for like 10% of crashes. The other 90%... you're dead. I had my seatbelt on when I rolled my truck. I would have been dead if I wasn't buckled in. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:44pm - ouchdrummer ""] yeah, but the likeliness of dying FROM the seatbelt is very very very much smaller than from without. and yes, i'm pretty sure they've done the crash test dummy tests to prove that. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:44pm - ouchdrummer ""] Yeti said:my friend said one time he fell asleep driving and woke up in his neighbors frontyard with a "slow children" sign bent over his hood. My favorite variation of that sign is "Go Children Slow" |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:49pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Seat belts are for faggots who care about life anyway. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:50pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'm just rationalizing due to my laziness/forgetfulness regarding seatbelt usage. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:50pm - ouchdrummer ""] faggots like me and you.... like hawk and dove.... like cloak and dagger..... like superman and wonderwoman...... like crystal meth and buttsex.... woops, sorry. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 3:55pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'm not even gonna ask |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 2,2010 4:04pm - AndrewBastard ""] my date to my junior prom died the next morning asleep at the wheel on her way home from the hotel we partied in after.... Also in highschool, my buddies mom come out side at like 6am for work and found him passed ut at the wheel with the car in drive, engine still running with his head on the steering wheel. |

Yeah, this is definitely making me think twice. Whenever I drove I strapped in, but whenever I was asleep or just hanging out in the back I didn't even consider it. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 2,2010 5:16pm - ernie ""] on a more serious note, read up on those vans before you consider driving them. im getting one and am paranoid as fuck about it because of this. http://www.citizen.org/autosafety/passengervan/ http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/problems/studies/15passvans/15passcustomer.html |

The driver fell asleep behind the wheel. I think you can relax. |

I always wore one when touring and sleeping. Falling asleep in a sardine can sucks just as much with a seat belt on than without. Fuck dying for music. |

The driver fell asleep behind the wheel. i think you can relax. well the van obviously flipped and crushed judging by the pictures, it doesnt look like they actually hit anything. he probly woke up, slammed the breaks and swerved which wouldnt be a big deal in a normal vehicle... read the stats, happens all the time... i cant actually tell if that van is a 15pass but eitherway, fucking lame.. bennyhillifier |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 3,2010 2:14pm - David Caruso ""] Inspection of the van's tape deck shows they were listening to a tape of the Mary Tyler Moore show theme song. Ironic considering he went out ...puts on sunglasses... just like Buddy Holly.
