According to TMZ, witnesses say music producer and drummer for Blink-182 Travis Barker was involved in a pretty bad accident with a school bus early Friday evening in Calabasas, California. 

Travis Barker was driving a black Mercedes G-Wagon and made a left turn as a school bus smashed into the side of his vehicle. Calabasas law enforcement provided information stating that no children were on board the school bus at the time of the crash and Travis was not at fault for the collision. The musician did have passengers in his vehicle, including his son, but no one appeared to be injured in the photos published by TMZ below.

Blink-182 is currently performing in their Las Vegas residency titled 'Kings of the Weekend' at the Pearl Theater at the Palms Casino Resort. The band had to reschedule some dates shortly after kicking off the limited engagement due to Travis Barker's health complications. On June 19th the group's official twitter account posted a notice stating: 

Friends, Travis Barker is suffering from blood clots in both arms and unfortunately cannot perform until cleared to do so by his medical team. The situation is currently being closely monitored. Due to this situation it is with great regret that the blink-182 'Kings of the Weekend' Las Vegas residency dates this weekend must be rescheduled. New dates will be posted on the bands website shortly. If you are not able to attend the rescheduled dates, refunds will be available at point of purchase. 

"Drumming is my life and it kills me that I can't perform for you guys this weekend. I hope to be back as soon as I can.' - Travis

According to the official website's tour listing, 'Kings of the Weekend' will resume on October 26th 2018. 

Their first ever Las Vegas residency was revealed back in March, and the show's first performances kicked off in late May. Mark Hoppus had told Las Vegas Weekly of the residency:

"It's really awesome to be coming back to the same place over and over again and trying to change the set each time to do something a little bit different. It’s an interesting puzzle as a band because we have pyrotechnics, we have cryo, we have certain lighting cues, so there are anchor songs in the set that we can’t change."
