Thanks to my friends at texanslove_creed@yahoogroups.com   
 
Ok, here is an interview typed up as it was happening about 8:00 p.m. tonight.  Scott was on a radio station in Orlando getting the word out. I'm typing what he said: I-4 traffic resumed to 50 mph...and he stopped and he got rammed in the back.

He was NOT wearing his seatbelt....he said he got a concussion.

Jagger wasn't with him.

He got out and went to the other driver....he pushed her car off the side of the interstate.....there were 3 people in the car....He called his manager......police asked if he wanted an ambulance he said NO.

He wasnt thinking straight....other cars just drove by....and he was mad no one stopped to help. His manager got there....he has a personal DR who sees him at his home...everyone and his mom wanted him to go to the Hospital....didn't know how much he was hurting till day 3.....he was on pain meds for the video shoot. He had MRI and found the problems with his neck and lower back.

He was concerned about head banging.....and what it would do to him in the long term, its all a precautionary thing right now.

Not sure if they can tour IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS while he has phisical therapy.

His #1 priority is his son...can he play football...pick him up...etc....

He says its killing him not to be able to perform..he's stir crazy right now...

ok DJ is asking about the false info on MTV...

Scott said what bothers him is that MTV has never been a supporter of the band and he is mad that they say there is nothing wrong with him.

Scott said he didnt want to go to the hospital...he's stubborn and that's why he never went to the hospital...and MTV picked up on how he said he wasn't injured....he said there is MORE than $1,000.00 damage on his vehicle...and that his body absorbed alot of the impact. he said MTV tryed to make a controversy
 
In 4 days he will know more about his back and neck and will get back to us and tell us what is going on ...and he said teh second leg of the tour WILL BE MADE UP. He said "We will make it up"


Oh he also said...

The cop said there was only 1000.00 worth of damage on his truck....but when the hell are Cops car appraisers.


He was pretty pissed at MTV.
