Robert Burns Jr., a founding member of the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, was killed in Georgia when his car slammed into a tree, authorities said.
The 64-year-old former drummer of the group went off a curve on a dark road in Catersville, Ga., according to Georgia State Patrol spokeswoman Tracey Watson.
His car struck a mailbox and then a tree, just before midnight on Friday. He was not wearing a seat belt and was the only occupant in the vehicle.
No further details were available and an investigation is ongoing, said Watson.

That is too bad. He wasn’t on the airplane for that crash. But he found his own unfortunate crash.
Darn that car!
That band does not have good luck with transportation.
He left (the band) in 1974, after suffering mental problems on the road and being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He also was briefly hospitalized for the affliction.

Delayed reaction from The Reaper?
What was that movie series about people who cheat death but just delay the inevitable?
(note: no seatbelt — that is very dangerous)
I’m as much against mandatory seatbelt laws as anybody, but still, the benefits of wearing one tend to be rather obvious.
RIP.

ANY transportation.
Oak tree you're in my way.
The movie was “Final Destination.”
RIP.
A good friend of mine from Nashville played lead guitar on a few of their tours several years ago. He hadn’t told me that he was touring with them’ One day I turned on Emeril, and the band that day was LS. I was stunned! There was Steve!

Unfortunately, no one gets out alive.
Man, that band and crashes.
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit,
Sin' auld lang syne.
Yes, it was called Final Destination, and people who avoided a plane crash death by precognition ended up eventually dying of bizarre deaths later on.
Except Elijah, and possibly St. John if you’re Christian.
