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 hope he is allright
thats awefull!

I nearly had a heart attack when I was this
thank god hes ok
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.
Yep, charges are appropriate... perhaps he'll be more careful next time. Glad everyone is OK, at least everyone we know about...
But I'm glad he and everyone else is fine.
