ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - Two well-known comedians were hospitalized Thursday on the way to a gig in Atlanta.
It was no joke when Dana Gould and Bobcat Goldthwait were involved in an accident outside the Relapse Theatre located at 380 14th Street in Midtown Atlanta. The venue sent out an email to ticket holders explaining the reason behind the event being canceled early Thursday evening.

The crash happened around 6:25 p.m. near the corner of 14th and Mecaslin streets. Atlanta Police said the woman driving the comedians was arrested for driving on a suspended license out of California and was cited for failure to yield while turning left. The driver's name has not been released.
Police said Gould and Goldthwait were both taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.
The two were booked to do a live taping as part of "The Show with Two Heads" comedy tour.
