Production and legal problems

On September 28, 2008 a truck driven by a roadie hauling equipment for Rock of Love Bus caused an accident when the driver fell asleep at the wheel.[5] The truck crossed over the median and into oncoming traffic on Interstate 57 near West Frankfort, Illinois.[6] The truck hit a pickup truck and a sports-utility vehicle.[6] The two 19-year-old college students in the sports-utility vehicle were killed, and the two individuals in the pickup truck were seriously injured.[6] The driver was charged with driving with a suspended license and moving violations.[5][6] No other Rock of Love employees or crew were involved. According to a statement by VH1, Michaels asked that production be temporarily suspended.[7]
