Buckcherry Tour Bus on I-26 Crash; One Dead

A Buckcherry tour bus was involved in a chain of crashes on Interstate 26 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, on August 21, as the rock band continued its Roar Like Thunder tour. The night began with a separate fatal crash in which a man who had exited his vehicle was struck and killed by another motorist, according to authorities. Moments later, the Buckcherry bus was part of a five-vehicle pileup, with investigators still examining the cause. The band members and touring crew said they were safe and unharmed, despite the chaotic sequence of crashes. Eastbound lanes were closed for several hours, disrupting traffic and tour plans, though Buckcherry proceeded with a scheduled show later that day. Authorities remain questions about the crashes and are pursuing ongoing investigations; no arrests have been reported in connection with the incidents.
