As the Washington Huskies make their way to Pullman for the annual Apple Cup rivalry against Washington State, the band experienced a very scary situation.
On icy roads in Washington, a bus carrying band members flipped over, causing minor injures to a couple dozen students.
As you can see in the photos below, the situation looked scary, and it’s fortunate that no one was critically injured:

As you can see, about 20-25 band members were taken to a hospital as a precaution, but they’re expected to be OK. Washington issued a statement about the accident (via The Spun):
“The injuries reported were cuts, complaints of general pain and back pain, but the injuries are not believed to be critical. The University is doing everything it can to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff and to get them safely back on their journey to Pullman.”
