Killswitch Engage‘s tour bus was involved in a collision with an elk while on tour in Sweden this week.As frontman Jesse Leach revealed in a statement, the band were driving to In Flames’ festival Dalhalla Brinner in the town of Rättvik when the accident occurred.Alongside video and photos of the aftermath, Leach said on Instagram: “You never know what tomorrow holds take nothing for granted.“This is the scene I woke up to yesterday morning around 6am.

Thankfully no one was seriously injured. Our driver Tom sustained some torn ligaments and was shaken up for sure but he is ok.

The majestic Moose (*correction an ELK) that collided with our bus however did not fair so well sadly. I don’t carry fear with me when I travel as it would do me no good.“However seeing this definitely put some fear in me, not so much for my safety but thought of losing someone I love (or someone being injured seriously).”Leach added: “It washed over me as we pulled away in a passenger bus.

I felt the tears fall on my face as I thought about the ‘what could’ve been.’ I think of all the bands that have had to deal with loss or injury because of these types of accidents.
