Johnny's has since stated that they have banned all of Arashi from driving for the rest of the year because of this accident.

On a much brighter note a new original album has been announced for the group. It will be released on August 8th, so it'll probably still be about a week or so before it goes up for pre-ordering, and will contain the singles from Everything to Monster. The track total is being listed as 20, with the single tracks, 10 new songs, 5 solo songs as well as the inclusion of the song Sora Takaku.
A tour has also been announced, set to begin in the end of August at Kokuritsu and will end mid-January in Fukuoka. The show dates are all in dome sized venues and spread out, most likely to give the guys the time needed to do dramas, promotions and the other various activities that are a part of their usual schedule.

EDIT:
Well it looks like I was completely wrong for how long it would take for the pre-order to open for the new album. I just got an e-mail from cdjapan for it. Of course first thing I noticed is that there is only one version, but it does have a first press edition. So for those wanting to order it immediately here's the link:

..sad to hear about the accident..
...JE are really pushing Arashi, which im not suprised their sales figures are very impressive but i mean 10 new songs woah!!..
..thanks for the info..
No problem. And I'm not surprised with the work schedule either. Though I guess working hard now helps get them to the place where they can have much more control over their schedules later on in their careers, much like SMAP does now.
