Touring the U.S. with Incubus, helping to bring fugitives to justice, it's all in a day's work for Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. While in transit between venues on his current tour, Albert Hammond Jr. and his band inadvertently got involved in a high speed chase somewhere in Texas. While driving along, the band's tour bus was struck by another vehicle. Marc Phillipe Eskenazi supplies the details:
"It turned out that the cops had been chasing a suspect in a pickup truck in a high speed chase a la OJ Simpson since the Texas state border. It seemed that the pickup was going to get away until he came into contact with youknowwho (us).
"It appeared that since our trailer has such a wide load-though sadly no such bumper sticker yet-we proved an obstacle passed which no mere pickup truck could speed ahead! But those crazy criminals will do anything to get a laugh, won't they.
"Those knuckleheads smashed into our trailer and spun out of control, crashing into the side ramp, and awaited their vacation in the Texas State Penitentiary. Book 'em, boys!"
