(White Stripes Fans Website) - Jack White of The White Stripes was involved in a minor car accident in Detroit on Wednesday afternoon. He suffered a fracture in his left hand, forcing The White Stripes to pull out of at least the first two of their upcoming headlining slots on the UK summer festival circuit. Jack White was at the wheel at the time of the car crash, accompanied by actress Renee Zellweger in the passenger seat. No word yet on when The White Stripes will resume their touring schedule. White is suffering from a compound fracture on his left index finger which means the acts headlining slot on both T In The Park in Scotland and Wittness in Ireland have been cancelled. As a result of White Stripes absence The Flaming Lips have been upgraded at both gigs. White Stripes were due to start a major US tour on July 19. Jack looks like being out of action for a least a month. An announcement on the outcome of the tour is yet to be made. The White Stripes were sidelined by injury earlier this year when drummer Meg White fractured her wrist after slipping on icy ground in New York City.
