News-Gazette is reporting that Terry Luttrell, who sang with REO Speedwagon from 1968-1972, is spending a little more time in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois than he had planned.
The singer, who was part of Saturday night’s REO Speedwagon reunion show at State Farm Center, in which the band and fans said their goodbyes, wrecked his car Sunday morning on Interstate 57. Luttrell suffered a cracked sternum from airbag deployment and is recuperating at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana.
The “Honoring The Legacy Of REO Speedwagon” event took place on Saturday, June 14 at State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois.
Speaking by phone from his hospital bed Tuesday morning, Luttrell said he expects to be in the hospital for the next few days doing rehab.
Luttrell said he fell asleep while heading south near Arcola. “I was able to get up and get out of the car,” he said. “The airbag went off and cracked my sternum a little bit. I have a little back pain and neck pain. It’s nothing that can’t be overcome.”
Luttrell said he was headed to St. Louis for business. The keyboard player from Luttrell’s REO Classics band was traveling behind him.
Luttrell didn’t get much sleep before hitting the road, saying he signed countless autographs at the concert after-party. “It was just sign-sign-sign,” he said.
He left the party about 2 AM. Another 40 autograph-hungry fans awaited him back at his hotel.
