Bob Burns, the original drummer for the iconic 1970s rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, was killed late Friday in a single-car wreck in unincorporated Cartersville, Bartow County, according to the Georgia State Patrol.
The crash occurred about 11:56 p.m. April 3 when Burns was driving northbound on Tower Ridge Road and his vehicle left the westside of the roadway while approaching a right curve, said patrol spokesperson Tracey Watson.
“After leaving the roadway, the driver struck a mailbox and a tree with the front of the vehicle,” Watson said.
Watson said the 64-year-old Burns was not wearing a seatbelt and was the only occupant in the vehicle. Watson added “it was raining heavily at the time of the crash,” and there’s no probable cause to suggest Burns was under the influence at the time of the accident.
Robert Lewis “Bob” Burns was born on November 24, 1950, according to his Wikipedia bio, and helped form what would become Lynyrd Skynyrd while still a teen.
