Long story short... TWWK was hit by a semi on tour. Their trailer and several pieces of equipment are destroyed, and they're asking for donations. Anything will help.

While driving to Virginia Beach, VA on July 18th 2008, we got rear-ended by a tractor trailer with a full load of cargo. Thankfully, everyone in the van was alright, except for minor cuts and bruises. Our trailer and equipment on the other hand, were not so lucky. Our trailer looks like it was hit by a tornado, and is nothing more than a twisted heap of metal and wood. Equipment flew out of the smashed trailer onto the highway, and it took nearly 5 hours to clean up, and salvage our stuff. When the truck hit initially, there was no brake screetching, and no horn was sounded by the truck driver. He basically smashed through the back of the trailer, and then drove through the trailer and over equipment going about 50 mph into our stopped van. It was the worst site in the world to see our trailer turned sideways with our guitars under the wheels of a semi-truck. The back doors of the van were also smashed in, and one of the windows broke, showering glass all over the van. We lost several guitars, a bass, and plenty of other damaged equipment. We were told by the police at the scene, that we were all lucky to be walking out of the accident without any major injuries.
