Subject: Chris Cheney is in hospital after a car crash

On Saturday afternoon The Living End vocalist and guitarist, Chris Cheney, was involved in a serious car crash on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. He was travelling with his partner Emma down to Airey’s Inlet. The impact ripped off the side of the car and sent them spiralling off the road and down the embankment stopped only by a tree. The other car kept going and had a head on collision with another 2 vehicles shortly after. The other driver walked away unharmed.
The doctors said that Chris is extremely lucky to be alive and if he hadn’t swerved at the last minute he wouldn’t have been so fortunate.
He is currently hospitalised in a "serious but stable" condition, his partner Emma escaped with minor injuries.
The Living End were scheduled to appear at this year’s ARIA Awards with Kasey Chambers but have cancelled their performance.

I know Thom Yorke had a serious car crash several years ago, and he was badly affected by it (hence the birth of songs such as Killer Cars and Airbag). He's often said in interviews that it's his worst fear; getting into a car and not being able to prepare yourself or say goodbye to loved ones.
I'm really quite shocked to learn about what has happened to Chris Cheney and I guess it brings it home to all of us just how dangerous driving can be. I'm sure we all know people who have suffered from car related incidents, and with so many people our age really keen to start driving, it just makes you wonder whether it's all worth it.
