Video Shows Shania Twain's Tour Bus Rolled Over In Highway Crash; Tour Crew Injured
More than a dozen members of Shania Twain's tour crew were injured Wednesday morning after one crew bus and one truck got involved in a rollover while traveling between shows in Canada.
Twain was not on the bus at the time of the incident and is safe, a rep for the singer told Entertainment Tonight following the news of the incident.
A video of the crash released by Canadian TV station CBC Saskatchewan showed the significant damage to the tour bus on the side of an icy highway after it rolled over the road near Wolseley, Saskatchewan.
Thirteen crew members were treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a nearby hospital, according to a spokesperson for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Maverick Management, Twain's management company, confirmed in a statement to ET that one crew bus and one truck, which were part of the singer's "Queen of Me" tour, got involved in a highway accident while driving between Winnipeg and Saskatoon.
"Multiple vehicles encountered dangerous driving conditions due to inclement weather. Members of the production crew who require medical attention have been taken to nearby hospitals," the statement continued.
"We are incredibly thankful to the emergency services teams for their quick response and ongoing support. We ask for patience as we look after our touring family," Maverick Management added.
The RCMP said it initially received a report just after 7 a.m. Wednesday about a bus that rolled over on Highway #1, east of Wolseley, USA Today reported.
The highway was closed from Wolseley east to the Manitoba border due to poor road conditions, according to the agency.
Twain has performed across the U.S., Canada and Europe since kicking off her "Queen of Me" tour in Spokane, Washington, on April 28.
She last performed at the Canada Life Center in Winnipeg on Tuesday and is scheduled to hit the stage on Thursday at the SaskTel Center in Saskatoon.
The "You're Still the One" hitmaker's tour bus and truck were heading to the city when they rolled off the Canadian highway.
Twain is also set to perform in Calgary (Scotiabank Saddledome), Edmonton (Rogers Place) and Vancouver (Rogers Arena) in Canada before heading to Las Vegas next May for her "Come On Over" residency at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood.
It is unclear if Twain's concerts in Canada will be held as scheduled following the crash.
Lily Rose, who recently joined Twain on tour, told ET that she has not yet spoken with the country-pop icon since learning about the accident but that her heart was with those injured in the crash.
"I have not talked to Shania," she said at the 2023 Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. "We just got off the road 48 hours ago. Luckily, everyone's heart is still beating. It's really hard to celebrate with those being our friends."
