The band was traveling in two vehicles southbound on I-75.  One vehicle was a RV and the other a 2003 GMC Sierra which was pulling a trailer.  Both vehicles were stopped on the shoulder of I-75 to repair a flat tire on the RV.

59 year-old Robert Haines of Largo, FL was operating a semi for Twiss Transport of Largo, Florida and collided with both vehicles stopped in the shoulder.

Marion County firefighters arrived at 12:38 p.m. to find the RV fully involved in flames.  They say the fire was called under control at 12:54 p.m.

FHP reports the crash has left one dead, six seriously injured, and one critically injured.
