Car accident shelves Sinise for benefit concert

Virginia: Officials with the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation say actor Gary Sinise has postponed a benefit concert by his Lt. Dan Band in Virginia after being involved in a car accident as a passenger.

Sinise was scheduled to perform in the concert at a high school in Martinsville on Saturday night.

The concert is a fundraiser for Cpl. J.B. Kerns, a triple-amputee, and will be held at a date to be determined, the organisers say.

John Hodge, spokesman for the foundation, says Sinise was not seriously injured in the accident. No other details were immediately available.
