Bassist Duff McKagan also posted his message for the Zamora family.

I am extremely saddened to hear of the awful bus crash yesterday en route to our MC show. To the Zamora family…I have no words. — Duff McKagan (@DuffMcKagan) April 21, 2016

There are speculations that one of the possible causes of the overturned bus is over-speeding on the wet roadway. It’s still to be proven. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Zamora family.
