Garland police confirmed that the driver of the bus stopped the vehicle after a tire blew out, and the bus eventually went up in flames while stopped on Interstate 30. Luckily, no one was injured, but singer Hillary Scott wrote on Instagram that “EVERYTHING in the back lounge was destroyed from the flames” — except one thing.

Her Bible.

Scott said the “outside cover was burned and messed up but NOT ONE PAGE was missing.”

“He is FOR YOU, WILL PROTECT YOU, AND HIS LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER FADE. My faith is forever deepened because of today. I hope this story deepens yours,” the singer added.
Scott said she, her husband, their tour manager and the driver were on the Dallas-bound bus.


Lady Antebellum is nominated for Vocal Group of the Year at the awards.

Sanctus Real Escapes Burning Bus Without Harm

Members of rock band Sanctus Real and their crew and family members escaped harm when their tour bus caught fire on the road early this morning.

Nine adults and four children were aboard the 1999 Prevost, returning from a show in Maryland, when driver Stephanie Heisinger looked in the mirror around 4 a.m. and saw flames coming out of the rear passenger-side engine compartment.

She pulled the bus over and ran to the back shouting for everybody to get off, then grabbed her phone and dialed 911.

Police arrived in about 10 minutes and firefighters began arriving in 15 to 20 minutes, Ms. Heisinger and band member Chris Rohman said.

One firefighter was injured and the westbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike were closed for four hours while firefighters battled the blaze and smouldering wreckage.

The bus was a total loss, but the band’s musical gear was in a separate trailer and undamaged, Chris said.

“We’re very thankful for God’s protection because it could have been much worse,” Ms. Heisinger said.

Because many people have expressed an interest in supporting the band with this unexpected loss of transportation, clothing, and technology, they have set up a non tax-deductible means to donate.
