Ex-ELO member killed by hay bale
LONDON — Police in southwestern England say a former member of the Electric Light Orchestra was killed in a freak collision with a huge hay bale that rolled down a steep hill.
The victim was identified Monday as 62-year-old Mike Edwards, who played cello in the British rock band between 1972 and 1975.
Sgt. Steve Walker of the Devon and Cornwall Police said Edwards was driving a van Friday when he collided with a 1,300-pound hay bale that had rolled down a hill to the road.
