* Two killed, six injured in crash
* Believed to be mini-van of touring metal band
* Not known if dead men were band members
TWO men died and six others were injured when a mini-bus, believed to be carrying members of US metal band All Shall Perish, crashed on the New South Wales north coast today.
The van rolled several times and slammed into a tree after veering off the Pacific Highway at Moonee, north of Coffs Harbour, about 7am (AEDT).
Police said one man was killed on impact, while a 30-year-old passenger was trapped in the wreckage for more than an hour. He suffered serious head injuries and died in Coffs Harbour Hospital.
Six others escaped with head injuries, cuts and fractures and were also taken to Coffs Harbour in a stable condition.
It was not known whether the dead men were band members.
Police said the crash, at Cunninghams Bridge, 1km north of Coffs Harbour, had shut the Pacific Highway to northbound traffic.
The crash occured at the end of an overtaking lane, with the van drifting off the road.
"It has left the road and rolled a couple of times before it has struck a tree," a police spokesman said.
Police said the eight occupants of the mini-van, which was towing a trailer, were travelling south when the crash occured.
The metal band is on a tour of Australia.
