Five people are dead and two people are injured following a head-on collision involving a pickup truck and country star Trace Adkins’ tour bus.

The accident occurred February 13 when the pickup truck, driven by 21-year-old Justin Maxey, crossed the center divider on U.S. Route 71 in Louisiana and collided head-on with Adkins’ tour bus, which was en route to a concert. Both Maxey and his passenger were killed in the accident, while five of Adkins’ band members who were riding in the bus sustained injuries. Adkins himself was not in the bus at the time of the accident.

The band members were transported to a nearby hospital, where they were treated for relatively minor injuries, including bumps, bruises, lacerations, and a shoulder injury. Adkins later picked up his band mates from the hospital and they went on to perform a scaled-back version of their show.
