"LIZZY BORDEN" GUITAR PLAYER IN FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT MAY 17TH



HOLLYWOOD (May 18, 2004) – It saddens me to convey that Alex Nelson, guitarist for metal band Lizzy Borden, perished in a head-on collision the afternoon of May 17th, 2004.

Alex Nelson joined Lizzy Borden, after replacing Tony Matuzak, on guitar before the recording of The Murderess Metal Roadshow. Alex maintained his place in the band and went on to tour with Lizzy all over the world. He loved the music and loved the band, but most of all he loved life.

Alex will be truly missed by all that had the gift of his friendship. We shall miss him dearly, as he was just starting his new life with his wife Angel Nelson. Recently moving to Palm Springs , the couple had purchased their new home and starting a rental business for the condo they had also purchased. They were living their dream life together only to end in a heartbreaking tragedy.

This Sunday the band Starwood (all Lizzy Borden members, including Lizzy) will be performing at the House of Blues on Sunset Strip. They will be performing a few Lizzy Borden songs in tribute to their lost brother.

Driver crosses lanes, hits car head on, dies

One person died when he was thrown from a vehicle that flipped after it crossed into oncoming traffic and hit two other cars, Palm Springs Police Department reported.

At 12:40 p.m., Monday, the driver of a maroon Ford Explorer was traveling south on Indian Canyon Drive off Interstate 10 and crossed over to the northbound lane, said Sgt. Dennis Graham of the department.

The Explorer sideswiped a black Toyota pickup, hit a white Lexus head on and overturned, ejecting the driver of the Explorer.

The driver of the SUV, whose name has not been released, died at the scene.

The drivers of the pickup and Lexus were taken to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs with unknown injuries, Graham said.

Police closed traffic on Indian Canyon between Oasis and San Rafael roads for a couple of hours to clean up the accident, Graham said.

Graham said alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash.

"It was a very serious collision," he said.
