Several members of Shania Twain's crew were hospitalized on Wednesday due to a traffic accident that occurred while traveling between tour dates in Canada on her Queen of Me Tour, according to PEOPLE.

According to a statement from Twain's management company, Maverick Management, one of the crew buses and a truck from the Shania Twain - Queen Of Me tour were involved in a highway accident while driving between Winnipeg and Saskatoon.

Poor weather conditions had led to dangerous driving conditions. Those crew members requiring medical attention were taken to nearby hospitals.

"We are incredibly thankful to the emergency services teams for their quick response and ongoing support," the statement continued. "We ask for patience as we look after our touring family."

Shania Twain Was Not on the Tour Bus

Shania Twain was not on the tour bus during the accident and is reported to be safe.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported that 13 people were injured and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, per ET.

The RCMP received a report just after 7 AM about a bus that rolled over on the highway.

Lily Rose, who recently joined Twain on tour, spoke to ET at the 2023 Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, and expressed concern for their friends involved in the accident.

Shania Twain's tour bus and truck were on their way to Sasktel Centre in Saskatoon for a show scheduled for Thursday, with tour stops planned in Calgary (Scotiabank Saddledome), Edmonton (Rogers Place), and Vancouver (Rogers Arena) before returning to Las Vegas in May for Twain's Come On Over residency at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood.

As of now, it remains uncertain how the accident will impact her touring dates in Canada.

Shania Twain Tour Bus Crashes

Dwayne Stone, the fire chief for the town of Grenfell, reported that they received a call about the crash just after 7 AM.

The roads were extremely slippery due to rain, followed by snowfall, National Post noted.

Firefighters arrived to find the double-decker bus on its side. It appears that the Shania Twain tour bus lost control, went into the ditch sideways, and then rolled when the wheels regained traction, according to Stone.

The bus was designed with a top level for sleeping quarters, and firefighters had to use an emergency hatch in the roof and remove windows to reach the 13 people trapped inside.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority later announced that two individuals were transferred to a hospital in Regina while the others were discharged.

The Shania Twain tour bus had a Tennessee license plate and was operated by a tour company headquartered in Florida called Beat The Street.

The company confirmed that its vehicle was involved in the accident, citing black ice on the roadway as the cause.

Firefighters also retrieved luggage from the bus to access the passengers' passports and provided blankets to keep them warm when the accident occurred.

Canadian artist Shania Twain, originally hailing from Ontario, is currently in the final stages of her Queen Of Me tour, which serves as a promotion for her latest album, "Queen Of Me," USA Today reports.

This album, her first in six years, was released in April.
