Calvin Harris was in a bad car accident in L.A. on Friday night. He was being driven to the airport for a show in Las Vegas.

He canceled two shows, including the Vegas gig. A 16-year-old girl was driving the Bug. It was packed with teenagers. One girl was sitting on a guy’s lap in the passenger seat. They were thrown from the car, and the girl suffered a broken pelvis. Hey teens – wear your seat belt! Get more here.
