Travis Tritt's Tour Bus Involved In Fatal Crash
A tour bus carrying Travis Tritt was involved in a fatal accident that killed two people.
The Grammy-winning country singer and his team were returning after performing at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Friday night, when the accident involving Tritt's tour bus and two other vehicles took place.
"We sustained minor damage as we tried to avoid the crash site in front of us. Bus damage can be fixed, but lives cannot be replaced. I'm so incredibly sad for those who lost their lives tonight," Tritt said on Twitter.
"I'm told that two people were killed in tonight's accident as the the result of someone who was obviously driving drunk or impaired," he added.
Tritt advised "everyone to never drive if you've been drinking or impaired in any way." He suggested calling Uber or Lyft.
"We only were sideswiped in tonight's accident. It could've been so much worse. God was obviously watching over us tonight. I praise God for keeping us safe," Tritt tweeted.
