Production crew members with Shania Twain's tour were involved in a highway accident in Canada, resulting in more than a dozen people being hospitalized Wednesday.
"One crew bus and one truck from the Shania Twain - Queen Of Me tour were involved in a highway accident" while traveling between Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and "multiple vehicles encountered dangerous driving conditions due to inclement weather," a manager for Twain said in a statement to USA TODAY on Wednesday.
"Members of the production crew who require medical attention have been taken to nearby hospitals," according to the statement. "We are incredibly thankful to the emergency services teams for their quick response and ongoing support. We ask for patience as we look after our touring family."
The Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police issued a statement Wednesday morning that the Indian Head RCMP received a report at around 7 a.m. of a rolled coach bus on Highway #1, east of Wolseley, Saskatchewan. The agency also shared that, due to poor road conditions, the highway was closed from Wolseley east to the Manitoba border.
In the afternoon, the RCMP shared an update that 13 people "were treated in hospital for injuries described as non-life-threatening," adding that the Indian Head RCMP is investigating.
