Talking Heads’ Tina Weymouth is currently recovering from injuries she sustained during a car accident, as her husband and bandmate Chris Frantz revealed in a Facebook post today (March 27). According to the post, Frantz was driving his vehicle on Post Road, U.S. Route 1 when it was “struck head on by a drunk driver who was driving on the wrong side of the road,” as Frantz wrote. The accident left Weymouth with three fractured ribs and a fractured sternum.
“Incredibly, we walked away from the collision,” Frantz wrote on Facebook, where he also included an image of their smashed car. He added that Weymouth has “been in a lot of pain but she will get better with time. I give thanks to our guardian angels and to the Ford Motor Company for building a car that protected us from getting killed.” Find Frantz’s full post here.
When reached for comment, a representative for Weymouth told Pitchfork that she was “a bit banged up in the accident but is resting and doing well. With the type of injury she had, rest is a key part of the recovery process. Chris is taking good care of her.”
