A Post reporter at the scene has been was tweeting live updates and says that the injuries were sustained by people in the crew bus, while Twin Shadow and members of the band were in another bus.

Photos from the site show the front of one of the bus completely mangled. The bus driver, 41-year-old John Crawford, was brought to the hospital with serious injuries. The 11 other people aboard that bus had minor to moderate injuries.
The Denver state patrol has cited dense fog as being a factor in the crash. “No charges have been filed but the case remains open,” officials said in a statement.
