Country singer Wade Bowen took to social media to talk about a near-death experience where his tour bus was involved in a collision.

Photos of the wrecked vehicle were shared on Instagram by the 48-year-old country singer on March 10, revealing that his tour bus had been "hit by another car" after his performance in Lubbock, Texas, two days earlier, as PennLive reported.

"As we left Austin Friday night our bus was hit by another car. Thankfully we are all okay," wrote Bowen alongside images of the damage.

"I’m so blessed to have the band and crew I do," he went on, talking about the show that day. "Everyone came together and figured out how to make it to our next show in Lubbock and pull off a magical night.

"And a huge shoutout to Lubbock, TX for all of the people that came to our rescue with the gear and instruments we needed to make it happen."

The Texas native then noted, "In spite of everything, we had one of my favorite shows ever in the town that started it all for me."

Thanks to LEOs

The country singer went on to express his thanks to the local law enforcement officers who responded to the scene of the crash.

"Thank you to all of the police officers, firemen, tow truckers, and everyone that took good care of us and our situation," added Bowen. "We are very lucky… to be safe and also to live this life! Call your mom."

On March 28 and 29, respectively, the "Songs About Trucks" singer will be performing in Portland, Texas and Marble Falls, Texas.

In addition, he is scheduled to serve as the opening act for Chase Rice on a number of dates during the upcoming Go Down Singin' International Tour.

The tenth studio album by Bowen, titled Flyin', was released in May of last year. He disclosed his decision to approach the project in a way that was different from his prior work in a recent talk with reporters.

"I feel like I had a little bit more freedom with this album because I feel like people are more prone to listen to individual songs a little bit more than they ever has," he said at the time.

"I let [the songs] breathe and let them be its own thing a little more than I've ever done with the previous albums."

The singer has become a staple in Texas country, making the rounds through the Lone Star state and surrounding areas.
