WOLSELEY, Sask. — Members of Shania Twain's concert production crew were on a bus that crashed Wednesday morning on an icy highway in southeast Saskatchewan.
The music star's management company, Maverick, said in a statement that the bus and a truck from her “Queen of Me” tour were in the crash on the Trans-Canada Highway near Wolseley.The crew members were heading from Winnipeg, where Twain had a show Tuesday night, to Saskatoon, where she was scheduled to perform Thursday.Dwayne Stone, the fire chief for the town of Grenfell, said they were called out to the crash just after 7 a.m.
“When it rolled, all the debris trapped people in," he said."Basically we just had to go in, gently remove items, so we can free people.” The Saskatchewan Health Authority said later Wednesday that two people were transferred to a hospital in Regina and the others were discharged. "I am devastated to have to tell you that a Beat The Street USA bus experienced black ice on the roadway causing an accident," Joerg Philipp, the company's owner, said in a post on social media.When the bus tipped, Stone said he figures many passengers had been sleeping, because they “just had their socks on and no coats," he said."We had to give them blankets to keep warm.
