THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN has canceled the remaining dates on its European tour after a truck crashed into the band's tour bus, injuring thirteen people. The band was on its way to a concert in Krakow, Poland when the incident occurred. A spokesperson for THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN said in a statement: "On Saturday, February 11, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and crew were driving to their show in Krakow, Poland when their bus broke down and the driver had to pull over on the side of the road. A truck smashed into the trailer, which held all the band's gear, before hitting the bus. No one is in critical condition but the band and crew are still being assessed for the extent of their injuries at Szpital Wojewodzki im. Jana Pawla II (John Paul Regional Hospital) in Zamosc.

Guitarist Benjamin Weinman said: "All the gear is destroyed and there are injuries. We are unable to continue this tour right now. "The band and crew would like to thank the fans and press around the world for their concern and the Polish police and medical staff for their handling of the situation. We hope to get back to Europe soon." The New Jersey outfit recently announced it will go on indefinite hiatus following the tour cycle for its sixth album, "Dissociation", which came out in October via Weinman's Party Smasher Inc. label.
