In the Girls Gone Wild Tour, Joe Francis' rack-flashing sideshow boards a giant bus, prowling America's highways and byways in search of a new crop of coeds willing to sacrifice just a few seconds of their own exposed, jiggling dignity in exchange for being part of something much bigger. Unfortunately, their titty vision quest was set off course when it hit a soft, cyclist-sized bump in the road:

Tuesday night, a Girls Gone Wild tour bus collided with a bicyclist in Iowa City, Iowa, landing the cyclist in the hospital. According to a fire department report obtained by TMZ, the accident happened just after 8 p.m. Firefighters arrived to find a male bicylist trapped beneath the tour bus, where he remained for 20 minutes before high-pressure air bags could be used to lift the vehicle and get him out.

Henry Gandorf, your Girls Gone Wild Tour blogger, has yet to update his online trip diary since the accident, leaving us to hypothesize about what possibly could have distracted the driver long enough to hit the oncoming bicyclist. In the meantime, we're left to relive the Tour's happier days through past blog entries, such as this excerpt from the post dated July 19th: "They came onto the bus, not three days older than 19. 19's my favorite age...They agreed to let the cameraman film. They agreed to let the bus driver watch."

BONUS: Francis did get some good news this week: Hundreds of hours of videotape evidence seized from his condo in a child porn case against him was deemed inadmissable.
