Members of Shenandoah are shaken but uninjured following an early morning tour bus accident Saturday (6/7). The bus was traveling along I-10 from Stafford, TX to Beaumont when a car in front of it struck the vehicle it was following. The struck vehicle was carrying a fuel tank, which immediately exploded. “There was a big bang then we were sideswiped and engulfed in a huge fireball as big as a house,” says drummer Mike McGuire. “Witnesses behind us told authorities that the flames totally engulfed our bus at one point and you could not see it. Our driver swerved to miss them as they were just in front of us and on fire. We almost rolled the bus over on its side in attempt to swerve to miss it. If we hadn’t done that, we would’ve likely rolled off the bridge.” No critical injuries were reported; DUI charges for the car driver are expected.
