A scheduled performance by alternative rock band BOY HITS CAR at the iconic Whisky A Go Go was abruptly canceled last night, May 9th, after an unexpected and dramatic accident involving a dump truck left the West Hollywood venue temporarily out of commission.
According to reports, the incident began when the dump truck collided with a mail truck before veering off course and knocking down a power pole. The truck ultimately crashed into the rear wall of the Whisky A Go Go, causing structural damage and striking a main power line in the process.
The impact triggered a localized blackout affecting approximately 1,420 customers, though utility crews were able to restore some of the power shortly after. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, as confirmed by the Los Angeles Times.
Ironically, the crash occurred just hours before Boy Hits Car was set to take the stage at the legendary venue. The band took to social media to confirm the cancellation and reassure fans that the show would be rescheduled. They also shared a video update addressing the situation and expressing their disappointment, while emphasizing their commitment to returning for a future performance.
A video report from KTLA provides further details on the scene and aftermath of the crash.
At the time of writing, there has been no official word on the extent of the damage to the venue or how long it may remain closed for repairs. The Whisky A Go Go, a cornerstone of L.A.’s live music scene since the 1960s, has endured its share of dramatic moments — but a dump truck crash is certainly among the more unexpected.
