The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir In Major Van Accident

One of the members of the Bloodshot family, The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, was in a terrible van accident September 24th in Indiana, on their way to a show in Cincinnati in support of their new record. According to reports, the van blew a tire and then rolled several times, eventually coming to a rest upside down on the median. The band was transported to the Jasper County Hospital in Rensselaer, IN.

Alison Hinderliter, Jay Santana, and Ethan Adelsman were all released from the hospital that night with minor injuries. Elia Einhorn was held overnight with injuries to his head and neck. Mary Ralph has a broken pelvis and collarbone, and will probably be moved to a hospital closer to home. Mark Yoshizumi was airlifted to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn with injuries to his head, back, and neck. He is in serious condition, but making progress.

All of the band's gear was destroyed, and the van was totaled. As anyone involved with music knows, a lot of musicians don't have health insurance, copious amounts of income, or time to spare off work. This accident - apart from being medically and personally horrible - is also going to be expensive. Bloodshot are doing what we can to help them, but if anyone else would like to help out, there are three ways to donate and support The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir in this time of need.
