Country Star Pulled Through Windshield After Terrifying Tour Bus Crash

Just two years ago, Colt Ford watched his life hang in the balance after he suffered a heart attack. Thankfully, the singer not only recovered but continued to share his love for country music. First starting his music career in the early 2000s, he released several albums and even wrote Jason Aldean’s “Dirt Road Anthem.” Both an accomplished singer and songwriter, Ford recently made headlines. But it wasn’t to announce a new album. Instead, it was about him being pulled from his tour bus following an accident. 

If a cat has nine lives, Ford might have ten. Throughout his career on stage, the singer had more than a few close calls. The latest came when Ford was preparing for a performance in Germany. Posting a picture of the crashed tour bus, he wrote, “One minute you’re headed to Germany for a show and prepping for a single release. The next thing you know your bus is in the ditch and you’re getting pulled through a windshield with a broken shoulder by First Responders.”

While not the news fans wanted to hear, Ford promised that the crew was safe. “The crew is a little banged up, but we’re all still here.”  Not making any announcement about his future performances following the crash, he had shows on Saturday and August 19. But again, with Ford suffering a broken shoulder, fans might need to prepare for a change in schedule.
