One of the victims in last week's deadly crash at the SXSW festival got the surprise of a lifetime in her hospital room — a private concert.

So, after members of the band "Jared & The Mill" found out Endres was hurt and couldn't make it to their show, they decided to stop by the hospital and give her her own performance.

KSAZ reports Endres met "Jared & The Mill" at last year's fest and kept in touch through the band's Facebook and Twitter accounts. And Endres could not be happier they stopped by to visit her.

Over the weekend, KVUE reported several people, including Endres, were still in the hospital, with two still in critical condition after last week's accident. The drunken-driving suspect, Rashad Owens, is in custody. His bail was set at $3 million.
