Burton Cummings Wears Seat Belt, Survives Auto Accident

The next time you jump into the front seat of your car and think you don’t really need your seatbelt, remember Burton Cummings.

Although the car accident happened on Mother’s Day, we’re just now hearing that legendary rock singer Burton Cummings of the ‘Guess Who’ has been in a serious car accident in Los Angeles. Burton’s car was totaled after being hit by another vehicle that ran a red light. Yes, he was wearing his seatbelt, telling arriving officers that he’d be six feet under had he not clicked his seat belt. He’s written on his social brands that he’s recovering from a concussion, a few cuts, and bruises, but remains optimistic about a full recovery.

Burton is a rabid NHL Winnipeg Jets hockey fan and had been signed to sing the Canadian and American national anthems at the Jets home games in the past keeping him in the people’s eye.
