Three members of Sylosis were reportedly hospitalized following an RV accident last night. While details are still developing, the accident has supposedly lead to Sylosis dropping off of their tour with Trivium, DevilDriver and After The Burial.
Though an official statement from the Sylosis camp has yet to be issued, DevilDriver frontman Dez Fafara confirmed the unfortunate news himself with a series of tweets, including:

Again, there are many details still fuzzy, including who from the UK metal band was sent to the hospital and how serious their injuries are. Our thoughts are with Sylosis and we’re hoping for the best.
UPDATE: Sylosis has issued a short update via Facebook, saying “We are all alive and well! We will keep everyone updated as we go!” Still no word on which members were to the hospital or the current status of their participation on tour, but it’s still a relief to hear something.
