Blink-182 Drummer Travis Barker Totals SUV In School Bus Collision

Travis Barker, the drummer of Blink-182, shares details about the recent accident that he was involved in. The musician's SUV was totaled following a school bus collision.

Last weekend, Barker walked on the red carpet with a wrist brace. He revealed that just a day earlier, his SUV was hit by a school bus in Calabasas. Prior to the accident, Barker suffered from blood clots in both of his arms. Since he is still recovering from the incident, Barker was forced to postpone some of his band's shows in Las Vegas.

While speaking with one publication, Barker expressed his gratitude over the fact that he came out unscathed from the collision. He also said that the school bus ran a red light and hit his huge 4X4 G-Wagon Mercedes Benz. At the time, Barker's son and one of his son's friends were in the car with him.

In another interview, the drummer confirmed that there were no kids on the bus at the time of the accident.

Barker also gave his fan an update about his ongoing blood clot issues. The drummer said that he is still following his doctor's advice about his condition.

"I actually had a staph infection and a ton of blood clots, and I've just been in recovery period... They're doing a lot of things to hyper heal my hand so as soon as that happens, it's a green light," said Barker.

In three weeks, Barker expects to resume his role as the drummer for Blink-182.

Barker's accident and his blood clot issues are not the first problems that the drummer went through. In 2008, he survived a plane crash that killed four people. At the time, Barker suffered from second and third-degree burns to his body and hands.
