We Are The Union Tour Crash
The band’s van hit a moose on a highway near Lanham, Saskatchewan, early Sept. 4, totaling the vehicle and knocking the animal into an adjacent lane of traffic. A pickup reportedly hit the moose moments later and crashed, ejecting the occupants. One was pronounced dead at the scene, CBC News reported.

WATU vocalist Reed Wolcott said in a statement that the band appreciated the sympathy it has received from fans following the incident. However, “the only tragedy here is the two people who lost a family member this morning. We’re all okay, trying to figure out a way to continue the tour. Don’t worry about us. Worry about them.”
Tonight WATU plays The Mansion Nightclub in Barrie, Ontario, followed by several more Canadian gigs and a round of U.S. dates.
The band is accepting donations to help finance a new vehicle to finish the tour. Donations can be made via PayPal to the email address [email protected].
