According to the local station, the bus was traveling south toward Charleston when the driver started to choke on his coffee. The vehicle drifted into the northbound lane and then veered off the road, hitting a few trees, which prevented it from plunging into a nearby creek.
Gregg Allman, formerly of the Allman Brothers Band, is now touring as a solo act. His Wednesday night concert at Charleston’s Clay Center will go on as scheduled. The tour comes to Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre on Oct. 6.
