Buckcherry Involved in Tragic ‘Multi-Vehicle Accident’ in South Carolina
Rock band Buckcherry's tour bus was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on Interstate 26 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, in the early hours of Friday morning, resulting in one death. The band confirmed that none of its members or touring crew were injured, but said authorities had established that a fatal collision occurred just ahead of their bus. The incident occurred while the group was travelling in support of its ongoing Roar Like Thunder Tour.
The crash happened at around 2am, according to a statement the band posted on social media, in which they extended condolences to the family of the person who died; no further details about the circumstances of the crash or the victim's identity were released. Buckcherry said its scheduled show at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that same evening would go ahead as planned, with no other changes to the tour. The band is currently touring behind its 11th studio album, Roar Like Thunder, released in June 2025.

Buckcherry are an American rock band, best known for songs such as "Sorry" and "Crazy Bitch", who have been active since the mid-1990s. The group is currently on the road for its Roar Like Thunder Tour, promoting an album of the same name released in June 2025, and like most touring acts they travel between shows overnight on a coach-style tour bus.
Tour buses covering long overnight distances are occasionally caught up in road accidents involving other vehicles, since they share the same motorways as ordinary traffic. Interstate 26 in South Carolina, where this incident happened, is a major route used by long-distance travellers, including touring musicians moving between shows in different states.
This story matters because it involves a death in a crash connected to a well-known touring band, raising questions about what happened on the road that night, even though the band members themselves were not hurt and their tour has continued.
