According to his facebook site Peter White got into a little car accident last night on his way to the studio. The young woman traveling the opposite way apparently didn’t see him because of the setting sun. Peter is okay, just some minor cuts on his hand. Different story for his car though! Peter’s advice: “Please make sure to wear your seatbelt everyone!”
