Music star Trace Adkins’ tour is currently singing a very sad song: country singer’s tour bus was hit by a pickup truck in Louisiana this week, leaving both of the truck’s passengers dead, according to TMZ.
The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office reports that none of the band members onboard the bus suffered serious personal injuries from teh crash. The head-on auto accident caused the deaths of the pickup truck passengers almost immediately.

Our firm’s San Diego car accident attorneys know that when you put a bus up against a smaller vehicle in terms of an accident, usually the bus is going to come out with a little more than some property damage done to its body. It is unclear why the truck did not see the bus, just that two people lost their lives due to an oversight.
Local officials believe that the pickup truck was coming from a nearby casino, which could mean that this was possibly an incident of drunk-driving if the driver had been drinking alcohol, but nothing conclusive has been determined as of yet. Both men’s wrongful deaths happened almost instantly on impact after the truck slide across the center line, directly into the path of the bus.
Adkins was not onboard the bus at the time of the crash and is planning to continue with his tour through the southern United States.
