REO Speedwagon singer Kevin Cronin had a close call over the holidays.
He writes on the band's website, "On my way northwest between Thousand Oaks and Santa Barbara [California], I was startled by the sound of crunching metal.
"Traffic had backed up on the 101 northbound just southeast of Oxnard, and the driver behind me had dropped his cellphone. As he bent over to pick up his iPhone from the passenger seat floor, he lost sight of the SUV directly ahead in his lane. That would be Me!
"I collected myself, swung open my driver’s door, and headed back to confront this bone-head. He was around my age, healthy looking, totally apologetic and cooperative. It was apparent that he felt really bad, but he maintained his sense of humor as he offered his insurance info and said … 'So sorry man, you hurt? I’m a chiropractor, and I’ll adjust you right here.' Luckily I am okay, just minor damage to the back of my car.
"So yeah, I got rear-ended by a chiropractor. Only in Southern California!"
Cronin and REO will start their 2024 tour on March 20th in Reading, Pennsylvania.
As of yet, no dates in the North Texas area.
