During the European leg of the Damage Inc. tour in support of Master of Puppets, Metallica complained that the sleeping cubicles on their tour bus were unsatisfactory and uncomfortable. Guitarist Kirk Hammett argued with Burton about who was getting the pick of the bunks, so as a solution they drew cards. On the evening of September 26, 1986, Cliff had won the game with an Ace of Spades. He was asleep when at several minutes before 7 am (on the 27th), according to the driver, the bus ran over a patch of black ice, skidded off of the road (the E4, 2 miles north of Ljungby), and flipped onto the grass in Ljungby Municipality, near Dörarp in rural southern Sweden. Burton was thrown through the window of the bus, which fell on top of him causing his death.
