Country singer John Michael Montgomery is facing multiple injuries after a "serious" bus accident while on his way to a concert in North Carolina on Friday (Sept. 9).
Montgomery told fans about the incident a day later (Sept. 10) on Facebook. “Yesterday we had a serious accident on the way to a concert in North Carolina. Everyone that was on the bus is recovering from their injuries,” he wrote. “Despite some cuts and broken ribs, I am doing well,” he continued. “I will take some time over the next couple of weeks to heal and be back on the road soon. I am grateful to the medics and highway patrol for their quick response to this difficult situation. Thanks to everyone for their concerns.”
A report from Tennessee Highway Patrol stated that three people were injured: Montgomery, Marc Wood of Frankfort, Ky., and William Salyer of Staffordsville, Ky. Salyer was not wearing a seatbelt. The status of the other two men's injuries is unknown. Montgomery is best known for his '90s and early '00s hits "I Swear," "Life's a Dance," and "Sold." The country star has a handful of upcoming fall tour dates, including stops in Indiana, Georgia, and Texas. See the full list here.
