Tokio Hotel Drummer Survives Car Crash

Tokio Hotel drummer Gustav Schafer spent this past Tuesday afternoon in the hospital after colliding with a moving tram!!


Schafter - Furthest right

According to Bild, Schafer 'overtook a line of traffic and drove straight over tram tracks which had been blocked off,' while behind the wheel of his [very expensive] BMW 3-Series. An ongoing tram plowed right into him, the entire car skidded and proceeded to crash into two other vehicles. What a disaster!

Following the incident, which took place in Magdeburg, Germany, Schafer was taken away by an ambulance, along with passengers Katharina Kretzschmar and Denny E. All three are fine although Bild reports that Schafter will be 'charged with bodily harm due to negligence.' Ouch! There is currently no word on if anyone aboard the tram (or in the other two vehicles involved) was hurt during the collision, but we here at Buzznet are glad that everyone made it out safely!

Recently, singer Bill Kaulitz received one of the wackiest-yet-highest honors ... his own wax figure at Madame Tussads in Berlin, Germany.

Meanwhile, Tokio Hotel is nominated for 'Best Act Ever' at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards, going up against Green Day, U2, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Rick Astley. Lucky for us, we get to vote on who should be victorious in each category. The 2008 MTV Europe Awards will take place on November 6 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.

Do you think Schafter should be charged for the accident, or be excused?

I'm hella glad he's safe, but the charges?!
yeah, because gustav obviously is a practiced masochist, and found the thrill in almost killing two other people.
HIS life was at risk too, and it's not like he was under the influence of anything...

negligence my ass.

'overtook a line of traffic and drove straight over tram tracks which had been blocked off,'
Yep, charges are appropriate... perhaps he'll be more careful next time. Glad everyone is OK, at least everyone we know about...

excused, he could have been really hurt but no real hard evidence showed that he did it or the tram driver did it though, so lets wait till we fully what happened, but Gustav, I hope you feel better and rock out soon and at all the rest of your concerts and get ready to do another great album, xoxo gustav, feel better!

Charges? Well, I have no comment on that...
But I'm glad he and everyone else is fine.
shadowlev: 11/05/2008 6:39 PM

what the fuck is up with these band members getting hurt!? it's horrible!! im glad he's ok!! cuz Gustav rocks....poor guy...

Im REALLY happy to hear no one was seriously hurt. but it seems, from news reports, that Gustav is at fault. i LOVE the band tons and support them totally.. but if it were a normal citizen, wed want something to happen to the negligent driver that caused the wreck. so, IF Gustav is guilty of causing the accident, then he should be fined. no jail or anything.. just a fine, and maybe driving school. im just super happy hes good.
