Original LoVE member Johnny Echols injured

LOVE was another great band from the 60's and of course VERY Doors related.
I think it would be great to have this special topic about the band who was such a big example for The Doors.

Hey Scott,

I recieved an email from a guy who was at the gig where Johnny had played, and this is what happend.
All is ok now, I understand he was released from the hospital the next day, still on pain, but all under control.
This is what happened:

Johnny Echols was injured around 1:30 am this Morning leaving a Party/Jam in Bell Canyon.
As he was trying to direct an SUV Driver backing down a steep curving driveway
the SUV turned the wrong way and apparently knocked him over a 10 +foot drop onto a
dirt and leaf covered embankment. The Suv ended up with the rear wheels dangling precariously
over the edge. Johnny was fully conscious but in very obvious pain. He said he had landed on his shoulder.
Two men climbed down and helped walk him out of the bushes into the back seatof a private Car to take him to
an Emergency Hospital.

Thanks, Ed. May I post this at Torben's or will you? I'm sure all are waiting for this news there.

I think everybody knows it cause Jazmaan told it on Torben's forum, not sure if he said how and what caused the injuries, but go ahead of course
